De Beers Canada is committed to building long-term
relationships with the communities in which it operates.
The company recognizes and respects cultural and regional
diversity. Through information sessions, consultation,
communication and action, De Beers Canada works
together with all its stakeholders and community partners.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
De Beers believes that consultation develops
mutual trust and builds cooperative working relationships
with individuals and groups. We believe that the public
should have a voice in actions that affect their lives
and communities.
 |
Our public participation process
seeks out and supports the involvement of our neighbours.
|
 |
We provide information to allow
our community partners to participate in meaningful
ways. |
 |
We report back to the community
on how their input shaped project decisions. |
COMMITMENTS TO NEIGHBOURS
In addition to consulting with our neighbours, De Beers
Canada is committed to providing equal employment opportunities
to all people. Excellent communication, fairness and
mutual respect will be demonstrated in all of our employment
and business practices.
 |
De Beers Canada provides
employment opportunities to the communities in which
we operate. |
 |
We work with our neighbours,
government, educators and contractors to build the
skills required for available positions. |
 |
We ensure that positions created
by our projects are filled by our neighbours whenever
possible. |
 |
We build relationships with
local suppliers, selecting those best qualified
to satisfy the requirement for on-time delivery,
quality materials, equipment and services. |
 |
We encourage the participation
of local businesses, and support their efforts to
meet required performance standards. |
