Newmont's future is dependent on our ability to develop, operate and close mines consistent with our commitment to sustainable development; protection of human life, health and the environment; and adding value to the communities in which we operate.

To realize these commitments, every Newmont operation will:

• Develop and use systems to identify and manage risks, and provide accurate information to support effective decision making.
• Train our people and provide the resources to meet our social responsibility objectives and targets.
• Respect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in our business operations.
• Respect the social, economic and cultural rights of Indigenous people.
• Adopt policies, standards and operating practices that ensure ongoing improvement.
• Wherever appropriate and feasible, set operating standards that exceed the requirements of the local law.
• Assess our performance against our policies and standards.
• Demand leadership in social responsibility from all our people.
• Seek to share our success by partnering with stakeholders in appropriate community development programs.
• Consult stakeholders in matters that affect them.
• Strive to communicate our performance in an accurate, transparent and timely manner.

We understand that the actions and conduct of every Newmont employee and contractor are the basis upon which our stakeholders will evaluate our commitment to achieving the highest standards of social responsibility.

Because environmental, health and safety issues can affect the communities where we operate, we will carry out our Social Responsibility Policy in conjunction with Newmont's Environmental and Health and Safety Policies.
