Golden Star supports the UN Global Compact and we continue to integrate its principles into our business activities.
In 2005 Golden Star, with the full support of our Board of Directors, wrote to the UN Secretary General and committed to adopting the UN Global Compact. Our 2018 Corporate Responsibility Report was our 13th report against the Compact.
As the world's largest, global corporate citizenship initiative, the Compact is, first and foremost, concerned with exhibiting and building the social legitimacy of business and markets. It is a framework for businesses to align their operations and strategies with universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.
Annually we establish goals in regards to the 10 principles of the UNGC under the following four arenas:

Environment Our activities in support of the environment are discussed in the section on Environment
Anti-corruption Our activities in support of anti-corruption are discussed in the section on Transparency
As a signatory to the Global Compact, we support the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. All security and military personnel working at our operations are required to participate in inductions related to the Voluntary Principles, and sign a certificate confirming participation. The training includes a human rights “dos-and-don’ts” handbill, adopted by peer institutions.
