GVNA / Sustainability
Accountable by design.
Environmental and social safeguards are written into every partnership.
Our commitment
We assess before we build, measure while we run and publish what we find.
Environment
Six safeguards.
Assess first
A full environmental impact assessment before any construction.
Clean air
No open burning. Gas cleaned before use.
Live monitoring
Emissions and effluents tracked continuously.
Independent audits
Third-party audits, with results made public.
Safety
Emergency plans and safe haul routes.
Standards
WHO, IFC and national standards apply.
Community voice
Every complaint has a clock.
Raise a concern and it moves on a fixed timetable.
