Community Engagement and Support
Northern Star values our connection to the communities in which we operate and actively encourages open dialogue with local communities and key stakeholders.
We regard our positive reputation as a vital strategic advantage and seek to ensure that local communities benefit from our presence.
As a minimum, we honour our obligations under all applicable legislation and in line with our STARR Core Values and provide sound guidelines and processes to respect and positively engage our local communities.
We value and seek long-term and trust-based relationships
We value and seek long-term and trust-based relationships with all our local and broader stakeholder communities; relationships where stakeholders are respected, understood, and better off for having Northern Star operate nearby.
Development and delivery of Northern Star’s social performance function is overseen by the Environmental, Social & Safety (ESS) Committee and the Chief Legal Officer & Company Secretary (reporting to the Managing Director and to the Board), supported by the ESG engagement, legal, business development and social performance teams in the corporate office and on our sites.
Northern Star's Donations and Sponsorship guidelines and application form are designed to assist applicants in understanding our criteria for donations and sponsorship which is applied consistently across all operations.
