Our Communites
Glencore in South Africa
Our social licence to operate depends on actively demonstrating our socioeconomic responsibility to the people of South Africa. We have a role to play improving their quality of life and protecting the spaces in which they live. This position has spurred our ongoing investment in many projects in and around our South African operations.
Corporate Citizenship
To fulfill our responsibility as a corporate citizen, we focus on four core pillars for our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts: education, health, infrastructure, and supplier development. By investing in these areas, we aim to create lasting positive impacts that extend beyond the life of our mines.
Our role in South Africa is informed by our social license to operate and, as a responsible operator, we engage with our employees and local communities openly and transparently. Ensuring their collective safety, health and well-being is our highest priority, and we do everything we can to promote equality, preserve human rights and protect the environment.
