Environmental Policy
The Environmental Mission Statement, first published within Newmont in 1991, states:
Newmont and our affiliates (Newmont) intend to set standards of excellence with regard to environmental matters.
There are three policies that provide definition to the Environmental Mission Statement to reflect the challenges that we face as a global business. They are:
To motivate and reinforce behaviors in our employees (including contractors) who support the Environmental Mission Statement and policies, compensation programs will include a component linked to annual environmental performance targets.
Newmont will operate and maintain our pollution-control equipment and facilities to minimize upsets or malfunctions. Each facility will be expected to demonstrate a record of continuous improvement in this regard.
Newmont will establish an audit program to systematically evaluate compliance of our operating facilities with applicable federal, state, and local rules and regulations, as well as corporate policy, which also includes a corrective action process to address deficiencies that are discovered.
Each employee (including contractors) will be held accountable for ensuring that those employees, equipment, facilities and resources within his or her area of responsibility are managed to comply with this policy and to minimize environmental risk.

Newmont and our affiliates (Newmont) intend to set standards of excellence with regard to environmental matters.
There are three policies that provide definition to the Environmental Mission Statement to reflect the challenges that we face as a global business. They are:
- Newmont will, at all times, operate our facilities in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Newmont will adopt and adhere to standards that are protective of both human health and the environment at the facilities we build and operate.
- Each Newmont operation will develop, during the design phase, and implement during operations and closure, a closure and reclamation plan that provides for long-term environmental stability and suitable post-mining beneficial land uses.
To motivate and reinforce behaviors in our employees (including contractors) who support the Environmental Mission Statement and policies, compensation programs will include a component linked to annual environmental performance targets.
