Complaints management
Community Concerns Management
We aim to provide an open and responsive case management process for any concerns, complaints or grievances in relation to our operations.
Through our Community Feedback Management Process Flow, we seek to facilitate early resolution of cases in a consistent and effective manner. We continue to identify risks and trends to inform strategies or work plans and identify improvement opportunities.
Newmont is committed to fostering a safe and respectful environment and does not tolerate any unfair treatment or retaliation towards any stakeholders who, in good faith, raise a complaint through any channel or participate in the investigation and resolution process.
