Socio-Economic Value

Kinross generates value for our host communities through local job creation, procurement, tax payments and donations. This value helps to reduce poverty, sustain strong communities and contributes to improved well-being and prosperity. We measure this value through Kinross’ “Benefit Footprint,” our metric for tracking the distribution of our direct economic footprint in host communities. We strive to enhance our value by engaging with local governments, communities and civic institutions to seek ways to translate benefits into sustainable, long-term improvements that last after the mine closes.
