“Zero Harm”’ is the vision that guides all operations and activities undertaken by IAMGOLD. The company is committed to achieving the highest standards in human health and safety, to minimizing its impact on the environment, and to working cooperatively with its host communities.

IAMGOLD’s HSS policies and frameworks are built on international best practices and are designed to translate their Zero Harm vision into actual and sustained performance. Zero Harm is both a goal and a journey, and to help meet its commitments, IAMGOLD enlists partnerships of host countries, communities, civil society partners and, most important, its employees.

Specifically, Zero Harm means: no fatalities, no medical aids, DART (no days away, no restriction or transfer of duties), no significant impact on host communities or the environment.

Zero Harm leads to increased productivity and decreased costs associated with accidents, encourages host communities and countries to engage in business, and promotes responsible mining worldwide.
