Local Employment
“Local communities depend on (and expect) their industrial neighbours to provide livelihoods and opportunities for skills development.”
Ken Jones, Director of Sustainability, B2Gold Corp.
Our local and national employment objectives consider the demographics and empowerment initiatives of our respective national settings, while embedding our inclusive culture to attract talent from around the world. Our commitment to local and national employment is stated in our People Management Policy and Social Responsibility and Human Rights Policy, and is guided by our Local Content Performance Standard, which promotes strategies to enhance employment directly from the regions in which we operate. Employment opportunities, specifically for unskilled roles, give preference to neighbouring communities, and where skills are not available locally, we focus our efforts on sourcing talent nationally.
We continue to maintain high local employment rates by targeting recruitment efforts at local and national levels. Employment opportunities for unskilled roles give preference to neighbouring communities.
