The needs of the many
As an Australian listed mining company , Mackenzie is all too aware of the its responsibility to provide more than just a mining operation to Senegal . A mining company can live or die on its relationship with local government , and a key element of that lies in its responsibility to be a good corporate citizen .
“ I am incredibly proud of our social contributions as a company ,” says Mackenzie . “ We ’ ve always been conscious of our impact to the local community and we have committed more than $ 1.5mn on community engagement and infrastructure alone . Having a good , win-win relationship is the only way it can work .”
One such example of the company going the extra mile in order to benefit the local community has seen it take a unique step , one that allows for artisanal mining to continue to take place within Bassari ’ s mining permits .
