SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY

Corporate Governance

Mining Alliance Limited expects its employees, officers and directors to conduct themselves according to the highest level of integrity and ethics. Implicit in this philosophy is the maintenance of sound corporate governance which includes the commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Conducting Business Responsibly

We aim to protect the long-term interests of our clients, associates, stockholders, and communities by integrating responsible processes and approaches throughout our business and community efforts. These efforts include maintaining our focus on ethics and corporate governance and reducing our environmental impact.

Environmental Policy

Our guiding philosophy is to conduct business in ways that help minimise our environmental impact. We believe our efforts will yield long-term benefits for this and future generations.

We will be addressing environmental sustainability through three core areas: environmental impact, reporting and associate engagement.

Environmental Impact

We will continuously strive to improve our environmental performance in the following areas:

Energy Use: managing our energy consumption by incorporating energy management and conservation practices in the way in which we conduct our mining operations.

Waste and Recycling: conserving natural resources by reusing or recycling materials through single-stream recycling, electronics recycling, and composting to decrease landfill waste.

Water: conserving water throughout our projects, and regularly measuring water consumption.

Business Partners: striving to select business partners that share our values and support us in minimising environmental impacts.

Workplace Environments: providing a safe and healthy place of work for our staff and workers.

Reporting

We will carefully evaluate our environmental performance to improve our environmental management practices and decision-making through a commitment to measuring and analysing our environmental performance through self-assessments.

Associate Engagement

We value our associates and their commitment to providing high-quality services to our business and operations and will strive to create a culture that encourages productive teamwork and a sense of responsibility beyond the confines of the business. We aim to support and empower good work through diversity and inclusion.

Community Involvement

We will be supporting the local communities where we will be operating in multiple ways. The joint venture nature of the arrangement we have entered into benefits the local villagers because the money raised by our joint venture partners will be used to help fund schools, medical centres etc.

At the same time, we aim to provide support for the communities in technology, marketing and financial management and by offering employment to the local workforce and education and training to enhance their talents and skills.

Diversity and Inclusion

Our culture is firmly rooted in respect for ourselves, our colleagues, our clients, and our communities.

Diversity of thought, background, and experience create an atmosphere that brings out our best – resulting in benefits for all involved.

• creating an atmosphere of inclusion means we value all ideas
• listening to one another’s ideas and opinions with open minds
• embracing talent in all its forms is good for our business and our clients

It is our people—with their unique talents, backgrounds, and experiences—that enable us to best help everyone who participates. In order to achieve excellence for our clients, we will be cultivating an environment that values individuals of all backgrounds. This collaborative culture encourages diverse thinking and approaches, as well as an open debate of ideas, creating a stimulating workplace. As a result, we can make informed decisions and provide the best possible outcomes and, in the process, we have the opportunity to learn and grow.
