Mining for a New World

Mining is a business, and like any commercial enterprise it has to change with the times if it is to survive, let alone prosper. In recent years, the world has changed fundamentally, with paradigms shifting almost beyond recognition.

Barrick has not needed to respond hastily to changing values and expectations. Social responsibility, protection of the environment, partnership with its host countries, care for its employees and concern for human rights have always been core components of its overall strategy, which is to be the world’s most valued gold company, in every sense of the word ‘valued’.

That is why Barrick is not only an industry leader in technological innovation but is setting the pace for mining’s cultural alignment with the modern world.
