Hummingbird Resources plc said it had achieved full compliance with World Gold Council (WGC) Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMP) within the shortest possible timeframe at corporate level and its Yanfolila gold mine in Mali.
ESGs
In June 2020, the company joined the WGC in its commitment to operate responsibly with strict environmental, social and governance (ESG) protocols and practices.
In September 2020, Hummingbird adopted the RGMPs to work towards the deadline for full conformance by September 2022.
COMMITMENTS
Chief strategy and ESG officer Edward Montgomery added that the company had benchmarked, and in some cases improved, its ESG practices.
“The process has instigated further commitments to developing the Kouroussa project [in Guinea] in compliance with the same strict WGC RGMP’s as well as inspiring other projects like the company’s industry leading Kouroussa green energy project and potential solar projects at Yanfolila which highlight Hummingbird’s ongoing commitment to ESG protocols and practices.
“Implementing the RGMPs enables Hummingbird to evidence a greater level of accountability and transparency, in line with the increasing expectations of our stakeholders.”
