Ghana Manganese Company Ltd understands the responsibility to create shared value for all its stakeholders.
Strong relationships built on a foundation of trust are critical throughout the entire mining cycle, from exploration and development through to operations and mine closure. We view them as an important part of obtaining and maintaining our social license to operate.

When interacting with our communities, our behaviors are guided by our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, and Mission, Vision, and Values Statement.
