Communities are at the heart of everything we do. Across every region in which we operate, Barminco is committed to building meaningful, enduring partnerships that create lasting positive impact. By working collaboratively with our clients, local community members, organisations, and leaders, we ensure our presence contributes to social and economic wellbeing. From local employment and training opportunities to targeted social investment, we’re focussed on building strong, resilient communities and creating shared value beyond our operational footprint.
We deliver social value by aligning our investments with the needs and aspirations of the communities in which we operate. Our approach is built on trust, collaboration, and commitment to long-term impact.Our investment initiatives cover four key areas:
What is Social Value?
Social value is about creating meaningful and lasting benefits for the communities in which we operate. It’s about building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities through the way we work, invest, and partner with others.
Why it Matters
As a global mining services provider, we understand that our impact extends well beyond the mine site. By embedding social value into everything we do, we ensure that local people, businesses, and future generations can share in the opportunities created by our work.
Our Commitment
We are committed to creating lasting social value by partnering with communities to support healthy and thriving communities through initiatives aligned with our Social Value pillars, which guide our efforts to deliver meaningful outcomes:
Our Social Value pillars are the key areas where we focus our efforts to create meaningful and lasting community impact. The examples provided under each pillar illustrate the types of initiatives we typically support, but are not exhaustive – we remain open to supporting innovative and emerging opportunities that align with community priorities.
Tailored Impact Across Regions
We operate in three distinct regions – Australia, Canada, and United States of America – each with its own unique context, priorities, and opportunities. While our commitment to creating social value is consistent, we understand that meaningful impact requires a localised approach.
In each region, we collaborate with communities, Indigenous peoples, local community organisations, and partners to deliver initiatives that reflect local needs and aspirations. From supporting self-determination to investing in health and education partnerships, and early career pathways, and community infrastructure, our programs are designed to be responsive, relevant, and sustainable.
