Global Response

Kinross has taken precautionary and preventative measures and put contingency plans in place across its global operations that prioritize the health and safety of our employees, their families and our host communities.

For an overview of the Company's initial COVID-19 mitigation efforts, see our COVID-19: Global Response video here.

Kinross’ ongoing response - which is managed within the framework of preparedness protocols and contingency plans developed by its COVID-19 Task Force, with input from health authorities and the Company’s expert medical and travel advisors - have, to date, also mitigated material impacts to our portfolio. These plans, which are updated regularly, include:

• individual site management controls and safety measures
• quarantine procedures and on-site isolation facilities
• emergency medical preparedness
• supply chain contingency plans

The Company has implemented protective measures across its portfolio that prioritize the health and safety of its workforce and aim to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. These measures include implementing physical distancing and the use of masks or face coverings where appropriate.

Kinross is also supporting its workforce through external employee assistance programs, 24/7 emergency medical assistance, and access to Human Resources specialists to ensure our employees’ needs are being met.

Transparent, frequent and timely communication aims to ensure our workforce is informed and supported.

To recognize employees who have made a difference in health and safety, innovation, community support and increasing team morale during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kinross launched the “COVID-19 Champions” program in May 2020. Read more about our COVID-19 Champions on Kinross World.
