Bringing Skills and Prosperity
We pride ourselves on the employment our operations generate for our host communities and Ghana as a whole. In 2018, we directly employed over 2,200 people, and paid over $69M in salaries. Over 51% of our workforce is from local communities, with over 98% Ghanaian. Our businesses supported a further 1,300 contractors, of which over 74% hail from our host communities and 99% are Ghanian. Local businesses retained over 11% of our total goods and services value, adding a further $26.8M to our host community economies, with $260M contributed to the Ghanaian economy through procurement more broadly.
Golden Star Development Foundations
To provide longer term benefits for local communities, Golden Star established development foundations for the Wassa and Prestea operations, which are funded with $1 for every ounce of gold produced plus 0.1% of pre-tax profit. This is in addition to the $1 per ounce contribution to the Golden Star Oil Palm Plantations.
The foundations fund a variety of community projects, as selected by the local communities. To date, the foundation has invested almost $3.7M in programs and initiatives.
