Our focus is to develop a portfolio of high quality mines
Committed to delivering sustainable value for all stakeholders
Every day we must make decisions that directly impact our environment and our stakeholders, including our employees, members of the communities we operate in, and our host governments. These decisions must never be driven by financial considerations alone.
At Endeavour, we recognise that we must all – from the leadership down – take responsibility for what happens in our name and drive sustainable activity to build and maintain the trust that forms our licence to operate.
To inform this decision making and ensure we adhere to high standards from an environment, social and governance perspective, we are members of the World Gold Council and ascribe to the Responsible Gold Mining Principles, as well as drawing on the following international standards and initiatives to guide our management imperatives and approaches.
Endeavour joined the World Gold Council in January 2019. The World Gold Council is the market development organisation for the gold industry.
In September 2019, the Council published its 10 Responsible Gold Mining Principles, which it believes address key environmental, social and governance issues for the gold mining sector. The Principles are a framework that set out clear expectations for consumers, investors and the downstream gold supply chain as to what constitutes responsible gold mining.
Companies implementing the Responsible Gold Mining Principles will be required to obtain external assurance from a third party, independent assurance provider. This will provide further confidence to purchasers of gold that the gold they buy is responsibly mined and sourced.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations (UN) Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
Endeavour firmly believes that the mining industry has an opportunity to contribute positively to the SDGs. Click here to find out more about Endeavour’s contribution to the SDGs.

EITI is the global standard to promote the open and accountable management of oil, gas and mineral resources. The EITI Standard requires the disclosure of information along the extractive industry value chain from the point of extraction, to how revenues make their way through the government, and how they benefit the public.
Endeavour supports EITI’s mission to strengthen public and corporate governance, promote understanding of natural resource management, and provide the data to inform reforms for greater transparency and accountability in the extractives sector. Our host countries are EITI compliant and all our payments to governments are reported to the Canadian government on a country and project basis, as required under the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (ESTMA), please click here for further details.

WHO produces international norms on water quality and human health in the form of guidelines that are used as the basis for regulation and standard setting world-wide. The Guidelines for drinking-water quality (GDWQ) promote the protection of public health by advocating for the development of locally relevant standards and regulations (health based targets), adoption of preventive risk management approaches covering catchment to consumer (Water Safety Plans) and independent surveillance to ensure that Water Safety Plans are being implemented and effective and that national standards are being met.
Endeavour uses the WHO guidelines for water management. Any water that is discharged is treated, if required, in order to meet WHO quality standards before being safely discharged back into the environment.
