Newmont (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) (Newmont or the Company) was
ranked the top mining company in Newsweek’s first-ever list of
America’s Most Responsible Companies for 2020. Of the 300
businesses selected for inclusion in Newsweek’s index, Newmont
placed 39th overall with a score of 79.6 out of 100.
“Robust financial performance and effective risk management
require strong, transparent governance and the integration of
sustainability into all aspects of our business,” said Tom Palmer,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although we are honored by
this recognition, we understand there is always opportunity for
improvement, and we will continue driving our sustainability
performance to higher levels.”
Newsweek partnered with global data research firm Statista Inc.
to publish the ranking. Statista evaluated 2,000 public companies
to identify America’s Most Responsible Companies based on publicly
available key performance indicators (KPIs) derived from CSR
Reports, Sustainability Reports, and Corporate Citizenship Reports
as well as an independent survey. The KPIs focused on company
performance in environmental, social, and corporate governance
areas. The independent survey also asked 6,500 US Citizens about
their perception of companies’ activities related to corporate
social responsibility.
In September, Newmont was ranked as the top global gold mining
company on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World)
for the fifth consecutive year and in January was included in
Bloomberg’s Gender Equality Index.
More information on Newmont’s safety, economic, environmental
and social performance can be found in the company's annual
sustainability report, Beyond the Mine. The report is published as
part of Newmont’s ongoing obligations as a founding member of the
International Council on Mining and Metals and in accordance with
the company’s commitments under the United Nations Global Compact
and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.
