Responsibility

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.

Non-GAAP Information

Golden Star also uses certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) financial measures as defined in applicable Canadian and United States securities laws ("non-GAAP measures"), including the terms “cash operating cost per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “cash generated from operations before working capital changes”, “adjusted net (loss)/income attributable to Golden Star shareholders and “adjusted net (loss)/income per share attributable to Golden Star shareholders”. Golden Star believes that these measures are similar to the measures of other gold mining companies, but may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in every instance. In addition, changes in numerous factors including, but not limited to, Golden Star’s share price, risk free interest rates, gold prices, mining rates, milling rates, ore grade, gold recovery, costs of labor, consumables and mine site general and administrative activities can cause these measures to increase or decrease.

Golden Star believes these measures are useful non-GAAP operating measures and supplement the IFRS disclosures made by the Company. These non-GAAP measures are not representative of all of Golden Star's cash expenditures and there are material limitations associated with the use of such non-GAAP measures. Since these non-GAAP measures do not incorporate all non-cash expense and income items, changes in working capital and non-operating cash costs, they are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.

The non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to non-GAAP information used by other companies. The non-GAAP information should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. For an explanation of the Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company, please refer to the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2014 and the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2013, available at www.sedar.com.
