Our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility and Investment (CSRI) is to establish and maintain strong relationships with local communities, other stakeholders and the entire nation as part of our business strategy. Implementation of the projects is guided by the company’s CSRI Policy and a (three)five-year CSRI Strategy. The Board of Directors Sustainability-Committee on CSRI approves projects which will be funded during the strategy period and also meets semi-annually to review progress.
Letšeng supports projects that focus on improving the quality of life of the communities living around the mining lease area (and Basotho at large) whose sustainability will outlive the life of the mine.
