Sustainability By thinking and acting like owners, we will deliver value responsibly for all stakeholders

At Calibre we are governed by our Social Responsibility Policy, which calls for respectful and open engagement with all stakeholders. Our policy steers us towards making positive and sustainable contributions in the communities in which we are working.

As a modern mining company, we acknowledge that our role in terms of social responsibility covers all aspects of our activities, including health and safety and environmental and social concerns from a rights-based approach. It also covers all stages of mining, from exploration to closure and reclamation.

The Company has been progressing its inaugural Corporate Sustainability Report or ESG Report, which will be published in Q2 2021.

Water Unites Us

Proactive and Collaborative Water Source Protection Program: Rancho Grande

Overview

Clean water is vital; Calibre, working together with the Center for an Understanding with Nature (CEN) and the local population, initiated a water source preservation program in 2019 in Rancho Grande (Matagalpa, Nicaragua), contributing to the communities’ sustainable development.

Community Engagement

Calibre has established Performance Standards for Community Engagement. Our standards comply with the principles for good practices endorsed by the International Finance Corporation and the World Gold Council and are compatible with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Calibre Resettlement: a fair, transparent and consensual process

Applying the highest standards and due diligence, Calibre conducted several studies to determine the feasibility of a resettlement project in the communities of Cebadilla and Santa Pancha -Pozo 7, in the Limon Mining District.

Co-existence with Artisanal Mining

Artisanal and small-scale miners are legitimate stakeholders. In this sense, Calibre seeks ongoing and wide-ranging engagement and interactions with these stakeholders, under the mutual understanding that industrial mining can be carried out in harmony with artisanal mining, as long as it is done in a safe and responsible manner.

Calibre is committed to working closely with our local communities.

Drawing on local #community baseline studies, assessments and government development plans, along with stakeholders’ views and priorities, Calibre produces annual Community Investment Plans.

Calibre strives to satisfy our business partners and to work together with our communities to ensure longterm sustainability.

Calibre´s Community Investment Plans prioritizes #opportunities to improve community #health, education, livelihoods and social infrastructures.

Our Stakeholder Engagement Standard establishes the requirements for Calibre to meet our commitment to engage openly and respectfully with stakeholders. This standard is aligned with the #IFC’s Social Performance Standards and the World Gold Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles.
