Chrysos’ ESG principles are central to the company’s continuing growth and success.
Chrysos ESG
Chrysos’ ESG principles reflect its core values of respecting and valuing all team members and stakeholders. We listen to, and empathise with, the communities in which those stakeholders exist, and always operate with integrity and consistency.
Accordingly, Chrysos seeks to partner with companies that not only share its principles, but also demonstrate a history of strict legal compliance, local community engagement and sustainability practices.

- monitor, report and accurately disclose environmental and sustainability performance
- actively seek to improve environmental and sustainability performance

- maintain an open and mutually-beneficial dialogue with their communities
- create shared value through community and social investment
- seek to maximise local engagement in operations through employment and contracting
- demonstrate cultural sensitivity and respect for local customs and rights
- engage with community leaders and local authorities to ensure any development plans have input from relevant stakeholders
