Sustainability

Anvil is establishing a comprehensive and transparent approach to corporate social responsibility - building on successful community development programs from the Company’s first years in operation.

The Company’s commitment to the community was enshrined in the initial mining agreement between Anvil and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Under the terms of the agreement, Anvil was committed to investing 10% of the profits from its Dikulushi Mining Operation in local community development.

As Anvil’s operations have expanded and the Company’s role in the community has become more significant, the social responsibility programs have been broadened to include a major focus on accountability. In this context, the Company is increasing the level of community engagement, developing more effective governance structures, stepping up the level of report on safety and environmental issues and encouraging external scrutiny of the operations.
