We continue to maintain a strong commitment to expanding our community affairs activities. We expect our activities to grow as we develop formal community dialogue and engagement plans at each operation and learn more about the needs and priorities of our communities.

Madneuli operations bring many socioeconomic benefits to the communities where we operate. We employ many local workers, providing wages and benefits comparable or better than local standards, and offering training and advancement opportunities. We contribute substantially to the tax base of each community, and we contribute to local charities, infrastructure projects and community improvement initiatives
