Community Involvement
At Osisko, we are proud to be well-received by the communities in which we operate. We therefore make sure that they too benefit from our success. As a result, we focus our contributions on the economic development of these communities, the sustainability of our projects, and the minimizing of our ecological footprint. In addition, we maintain safe and secure employment opportunities, meaningful work, and competitive wages.
From a community standpoint, we must continue to protect our cultural heritage, to practice healthy living, and to pursue intellectual challenges. In doing so we shape our society and create a promising future. Through these and future actions, Osisko hopes to lead a new generation of socially-conscious mining. Our corporate slogan reflects this intention—a fresh outlook on mining.
