June 14 2019 - 4:00PM
Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) continues to make
great advances in its commitment to gender equality in the
workplace. Yesterday, Barrick Pueblo Viejo began a certification
process for gender equality at the Pueblo Viejo mine in the
Dominican Republic.
With this initiative Barrick continues to
support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the
Dominican Strategy Development Law in reducing gender salary
differences, increasing employment of women and promoting the
participation of women in leadership positions.
“At Barrick we believe in a diverse and
inclusive working environment regardless of gender and this
initiative will continue the good work we have already done in this
area of our business. We feel very proud to join this initiative
and we invite all men and women across our organization to lead by
example and make a more inclusive gender world,” said Mark Bristow,
President and Chief Executive of Barrick.
Barrick’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
and Human Rights Policy require that our workplaces are free of
discrimination and we recognize a women’s right to equality.
