Committed To The Community

Local communities, particularly those neighbouring company operations, are at the centre of CBG’s prioritiesthis is a societal commitment that the company has imposed on itself.

At CBG, the management of community relations is the result of a skilfully thought out and mature process which has enabled it to establish an appropriate framework governed by a certain number of principles. These include establishing and maintaining lasting relationships based on mutual trust and respect; promoting the culture of responsibility at the level of all actors; practicing the spirit of active and independent partnerships; and establishing a mechanism for handling complaints and grievances from local communities.

Community development has always been one of CBG’s highest priorities. To date, the company has invested more than USD$60 million in the development of infrastructure and basic social services for local communities. Since 2017, CBG has been investing up to USD$2.5 million in the socio-economic development of communities, and on top of this, the company has supported the construction of some 220 infrastructure developments based on various local development plans.

CBG also invests in the development of income-generating activities, particularly for young people and women. They aim to improve their income with a view to their economic empowerment. Launched in 2017 with a start-up fund of approximately USD$3 million, this programme is showing positive results with an average increase in community income of more than 100 percent.

In collaboration with local authorities, CBG has supported the creation of 10 micro-enterprises run by young people. Since 2010, this has resulted in the creation of nearly 3,000 direct and indirect jobs with a turnover of around USD$3 million.

In 2010, CBG promoted the creation, training and supervision of a set of ‘Very Small Enterprises’ (VSEs) in collaboration with the local authorities. These VSEs mainly operate in the sectors of sanitation, construction, rehabilitation and reforestation, and market gardening. To date, this policy has made it possible to create about 10 VSEs in Sangarédi and Kamsar, which employ more than 950 people. This initiative has greatly contributed to establishing social peace.

Promoting and respecting the traditional and cultural heritage as well as the human rights of local communities remains a top priority in this approach. The company is committed to developing and maintaining trusting and lasting relationships with local communities, based on mutual respect, transparency, active partnership and long-term commitment. CBG ensures that its community investments are aligned with community priority areas such as health, education and basic infrastructure, to name a few.
