Policies and Standards
A blueprint for sustainable and responsible mining.
Maintaining the highest standards of ethical business practice
Allied Gold Corporation acknowledges the potential risks and consequences associated with both our operations and the gold industry as a whole. We adopt a proactive stance towards mitigating these risks and enhancing our positive impact. Our approach to sustainability and ESG is enforced by our comprehensive policies that underpin our commitment to ensuring the safety of our people and the communities in which we operate.
Our highly experienced and credentialed Board of Directors are committed to ensuring all of our people, including employees, suppliers and contractors, act with the highest standards of integrity at every level of operations.
We are dedicated to ensuring our ESG strategies and performance align with and is evaluated against globally recognised ESG reporting frameworks and initiatives such as the Equator Principles and IFC Performance Standards, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs) and the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are also committed to ensuring our operational activities and processes are in compliance with industry recognized standards and frameworks including the Australian National Committee of Large Dams (ANCOLD) and the Global Industry Standard of Tailings Management (GISTM).

Standards
We are dedicated to ensuring our operations and performance align with globally recognized standards and frameworks.
HSSD Framework
The health, safety, and sustainable development framework describes the requirements for Allied businesses to implement an integrated system for the management of risks and opportunities associated with health, safety, and sustainable development – collectively referred to as HSSD.
All Allied businesses implement, or demonstrate conformance to, an integrated HSSD management system aligned to the requirements of this framework. Each business’ management system may differ depending on the nature, scale, and risk of business activities; for example, as businesses progress from early exploration through to operations the implementation requirements will become more comprehensive. Statutory and permitting requirements will take precedence, except where the requirements in this framework are more stringent.
For newly acquired businesses, a gap analysis against the requirements of this framework is undertaken to develop an action plan to facilitate future conformance.
The HSSD Framework has been developed in accordance with good industry international practices and alignment with the established frameworks of the IFC Performance Standards and the World Gold Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles.
Tailings Management Framework
We are committed to the responsible management of our Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs). A risk-based approach is adopted for TSF management throughout all stages of the TSF life cycle, from initial design through to construction, operation and eventual decommissioning and closure.
Our TSFs are operated in line with the Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD) standards and country-specific regulatory requirements. Further to this, we are embarking on a programme to align our processes to the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and have completed external gap analyses against the GISTM for our TSFs and have developed action plans to address shortfalls.
