Social
Community & Employee Wellbeing
Through meaningful investment in education, health, and local enterprise, GBC creates lasting value in the Awaso region.
Education & Training
GBC provides transportation initiatives for staff children to school, demonstrating commitment to educational access. The company also allocates 25 national service slots for community members each year, offering valuable training and work experience to young people in the Awaso region — directly supporting SDG 4: Quality Education.
Gender Equality in the Workplace
GBC actively promotes gender equality in the workplace, seeking to hire female staff across mining operations and corporate positions while supporting women in leadership roles. We maintain equal pay principles and actively recruit women into roles traditionally dominated by men in the mining sector.
Local Employment & Worker Welfare
GBC prioritises hiring from local communities to strengthen economic ties in the Awaso region. The company provides investments in housing renovations, transportation, and recreational facilities for workforce support. Competitive remuneration and career development opportunities make GBC one of the region's most valued employers.
Community Infrastructure
GBC has constructed significant community assets including a new palace to serve as a cultural hub for local residents and built a bridge to improve access to neighbouring communities. These investments reflect our belief that mining's benefits must extend beyond the fence line and into the daily lives of our neighbours.
Community Relations Office
GBC's dedicated Community Relations Office in Awaso serves as the formal interface between the company and surrounding communities. It ensures open communication and collaboration with local chiefs, authorities, and residents so that GBC's operations align with community priorities and needs.
People First
"Our success is inseparable from the prosperity of the communities that call Awaso home."
