Social Monitoring and
Community Support

IAMGOLD recognizes the need for investment in sustainable programs that manage the impact of our activities and provide community benefit.

Managing and Monitoring Social Impacts

IAMGOLD understands that mining activities can influence social and economic conditions in host communities. We worked with Mattagami First Nation, Flying Post First Nation, and Gogama to establish which social and economic conditions should be managed and monitored during mine construction, operations, and closure. Through this collaborative monitoring, we can identify opportunities to manage changes and strengthen positive effects.

Together, we adapt these Socio-economic Monitoring and Management Plans as needed and monitor a variety of indicators related to:

  • Employment, training, and business opportunities
  • Population and infrastructure
  • Community health
  • Traffic and transportation
  • Land and resource use
  • Indigenous land use and culture

COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAM

At Côté Gold we strive to be a trusted partner to our host communities and seek to maximize the benefits of mining, contributing to their economic and social prosperity. We seek to partner with communities, governments, and civil society to help support effective and sustainable community development through our Community Benefits Program.
