Corporate Social Responsibilities

South Africa's most innovative in Mineral Beneficiation

People are very important to us – not only our employees but also the communities that we operate in, our business partners and investing companies. For this reason we have created platforms and developed practices that are designed to guide and educate our staff and communities in their activities whilst simultaneously nurturing their abilities. By doing so, we are providing sustainable opportunities that have short as well as long-term gains, in turn creating sustainable communities.

Social Commitment

The Amava team are committed to being responsible, conscientious and contributing corporate citizens.

Our Social Responsibility policy reflects senior management’s commitment to the vision of embedding a culture that encourages all employees to get involved in our on-going mission to ‘Drive Change’.
