Social & Environmental

At Hummingbird Resources we believe that it is our duty to work across all of our operations in the most socially and environmentally responsible way possible. From board level through to junior staff working on the ground, every Hummingbird employee recognises the importance of working safely and respecting the environment and the people of the country we are privileged to work in.

Hummingbird Resources - Provides a safe working environment and invests in the skills of our workforce - Engages and consults with local communities, working towards development together - Respects and protects the natural environment

Hummingbird Resources invests directly in the people of Liberia. We believe that this is the greatest lasting contribution that can be made. Our education and training programmes are central to our CSR strategy allowing us to operate safely and sustainably. By developing skills in our workforce, Hummingbird’s activities will have positive multiplier effects to the wider population.

In July 2012 the company began a wholesale review of its corporate social responsibility activities, processes and systems, and has employed the use of internationally renowned consultants, Wardell Armstrong International, to help deliver this going forward. As well as ensuring complete regulatory compliance, Hummingbird Resources intends to conduct all of its practices in line with requirements set forth by the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) Performance Standards, as well as other standards of best practice such as the ICMM 10 principles for sustainable development.

Although Liberia’s developmental and socio-economic challenges continue, our actions as a responsible company have a long-term impact by supporting sustainable growth, especially within the rural areas where we operate. Living and working in Liberia is a great privilege and we aim to leave a legacy which endures beyond the life of a mine, economically, environmentally and socially.
