Social Responsibility

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. 

Our Commitment to Community Relationship

We believe that strong, transparent, and mutually beneficial relationships with our host communities are essential to our long-term success. 

Our operations go beyond mining- we are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and an active partner in community development.

Building Trust Through Engagement

We continuously dialogue with community stakeholders through regular meetings, consultations, and joint planning sessions. This allows us to understand local needs, address concerns, and ensure that our activities align with community expectations. 

Social Investment

Social investment is our commitment to responsible mining and inclusive growth. We recognize that the well-being of our host communities is directly linked to the sustainability of our operations, and we are proud to contribute to their long-term development.

Respecting the right of
indigenous people

Ghana Manganese Company Ltd (GMC) is deeply committed to upholding the rights and dignity of indigenous people in all areas of our operation. We recognise that indigenous communities are key stakeholders with unique cultural identities, traditional knowledge systems, and a deep connection to their land and environment. 

Cultural Preservation and Inclusion

We respect the cultural heritage, customs, and traditional leadership structures of indigenous groups in our host communities. 

GMC actively promotes the preservation of local traditions by supporting cultural events, festivals, and heritage-based education programs that strengthen identity and social cohesion.

Free, Prior and Informed Consent

GMC is guided by international best practices, including the principle of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), which ensures that indigenous communities have the right to be consulted and to make decisions about projects that affect their lands, resources, and livelihoods.

We engage openly and transparently with community leaders and traditional authorities at every stage of our operations. 

Land and Environmental Rights

We acknowledge the deep spiritual and economic connection indigenous people have with the land. As such, GMC strives to minimize the environmental impact of our activities and to carry out all operations with full consideration of local land use, access, and protection of natural resources.
