Toronto, Ontario - September 10, 2010 - Kinross
Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE:KGC) announced today that the
Company has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North
America Index (DJSI North America), which tracks leaders in
sustainability among North America's largest companies.
"This recognition is a tribute to our employees and their
commitment to our core value of outstanding corporate citizenship,"
said James Crossland, Kinross' Executive Vice-President External
Relations and Corporate Responsibility. "We have set high standards
for managing corporate responsibility across our global operations,
and seek continually to build on our record as a good neighbour
wherever we operate."
In 2009, Kinross launched a new corporate responsibility
strategy that provides a blueprint for delivering on its commitment
to responsible mining. The strategy is based on integrating
corporate responsibility into business strategy at each stage of
the mine cycle, a strong focus on two-way stakeholder engagement
and partnerships, and a systematic and structured approach to
managing and measuring corporate responsibility performance across
the Company.
Earlier this year, Kinross was named one of "Canada's Top 50
Socially Responsible Corporations" by Maclean's magazine, and one
of the "Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada" by Corporate Knights
magazine. Kinross recently published its 2009 Corporate
Responsibility Report at http://takingresponsibility2009.kinross.com.
