Kingsgate is a responsible gold producer and explorer with a commitment to achieving the highest levels of sustainability (workplace safety, community and environmental responsibility) by working with and respecting our stakeholders. Kingsgate has a proven track record of genuine capacity building within the communities in which we work, backed by award-winning Corporate Social Responsibility standards.
Kingsgate is at the centre of a network of interests that include our employees, local communities, investors, suppliers, customers and regulators. Our most recent sustainability report is developed from the stakeholder point of view and reflects the importance of our networks to our long term growth and to our operating style and success.
Kingsgate manages the Chatree asset ethically, so the people of Thailand, and the company, prosper together, enjoying safe, fair and rewarding work relationships and a healthy living environment. Most satisfying as an employer of over 1000 people, of which 99% are Thai, is the continued outstanding safety record with no Lost Time Injuries for over six years (12 million hours worked). Kingsgate has accreditation for international ISO standards including safety, quality and the environment and remains the only stand-alone mining company with SA8000 Social Accountability accreditation. Details of our ISO standards and policies are available at right.
Kingsgate’s investment in training and education continues, with over 20 successful, Kingsgate-sponsored Thai employees graduated with Masters degrees in recent years. Our community concerns extend beyond philanthropy to genuine community aide in local education and infrastructure. Our supply chain policy is to buy local and to help expand the capacities of local contractors wherever we can.
Kingsgate will continue to explore, develop, mine and process gold free from exploitative and unnecessarily harmful practices. We will work with all our stakeholders with integrity and for mutual benefit, while minimising our environmental impact and leaving a meaningful community legacy. |
