Being a good neighbour
Equinox Gold strives to facilitate meaningful improvements to the well-being of our workforce and community partners, and to the ecosystems surrounding our mine sites.
At all of our operations, we work with our community partners to identify areas where we can have the greatest positive impact and then implement or fund numerous projects focused on healthcare, education, infrastructure improvements, and environmental protection. We also organize programs for our workforce and communities focused on safety, personal health, water conservation, energy reduction, and other initiatives that are consistent with the Company’s business strategy and corporate values.
There are too many initiatives to document them all, but here are some of our favourite stories from our mine sites.
