Kinross Gold completed the assessment of nearly 98% of Tier 1 suppliers at operating sites and reported zero substantiated cases of corruption or bribery. Though the overall safety performance was in line with 3-year averages, it was overshadowed by a fatal accident at the Chirano, Ghana mine and a serious mill fire at Tasiast.
The Sustainability Report highlighted that the operating mine sites recycled 80% of water. The company maintained record of zero tailings breaches for the 29th year in a row. It aims to achieve 30% reduction in intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
Kinross Gold generated $3.5 billion in economic benefits to host countries through taxes, wages, procurement and community support.
