Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance. This statement from Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, outstands the results published in the World Gold Council report. 

Women’s economic empowerment boosts productivity, increases economic diversification and income equality in addition to driving positive development outcomes. Large-scale gold miners have a significant role in supporting social and economic development, and women’s economic empowerment is central to realizing gender equality. 

Companies in a range of economic sectors all over the world increasingly recognize the importance of diverse teams. It is estimated that, in 2022, 75% of organizations with decision-making teams with a diverse and inclusive culture will exceed their financial targets. On average, gender-diverse and inclusive teams outperformed less inclusive teams by 50%.

Thank you, IAMGOLD Team, for supporting our initiative, bringing innovation, and opening the dialogue with our Artemis Project members and your strategic areas to make sustainable changes.

Let’s accelerate the change together. 

Be part of the Artemis Project. Support our women entrepreneurs collective to bring innovation and sustainability to the mining supply chain.
