Golden Star is committed to working with the highest level of respect for the communities and environments in which we operate.
Our objective is to maintain a socially responsible business that brings economic prosperity whilst ensuring responsible environmental stewardship and ethical business practice. This approach enables Golden Star to ensure that a positive and sustainable legacy remains beyond the lives of our mining operations.
Golden Star has had a presence in West Africa for two decades and we are proud to contribute to the economic growth of the communities, regions and countries we work. In recognition of Golden Star’s commitment to responsible mining, we were named as the winner of the PDAC 2018 Environmental and Social Responsibility Award. Watch our PDAC 2018 video about our corporate responsibility program.

The United Nations’ Global Compact’s 10 Principles
Golden Star ascribes to the United Nations’ Global Compact and it’s 10 principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. By integrating these principles into our sustainability initiatives, Golden Star aims to continually improve our corporate responsibility performance, while advancing broader economic and social goals.
Golden Star supports and respects the protection of international human rights within our sphere of influence.
17 Sustainable Development Goals
Golden Star has also integrated the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development into our projects and programs. The Agenda – better known for the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) it encompasses – is now the focal point for development across the globe. SDG number 17 is particularly important to Golden Star as it outlines the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships in achieving all of the other SDGs. See our section on the SDGs for more information.
