Coeur Alaska has deep roots in Southeast Alaska and is committed to being an integral part of the business, social, and philanthropic life of this community. The company routinely provides cash and in-kind donations to deserving local organizations. In addition, the company is committed to local and native hire and job training to ensure sustainable and transferable skills.
The company seeks to become an integral part of our operating communities through active involvement by our employees in local civic, charitable, and educational organizations. By becoming part of the solution to community challenges, the company builds trust and sustaining relationships that go beyond our mining operations. In addition, our financial support of local organizations helps to improve the quality of life. Our community involvement fosters a better understanding of mining's benefits and effects, and also encourages a mutual-gain approach to issues affecting employees, the community and the company.
The mutual-gain approach to mine development, safe operation, and closure provides a platform for continual dialogue to identify and address community concerns, encourage innovative solutions, accept responsibility, act in a trustworthy fashion, and focus on building long-term relationships. Mining today must continue to earn the social license to successfully operate and Coeur's approach has earned the company over 20 national and international environmental and safety awards.
