Corporate Governance
BUSINESS PRACTICES & PHILOSOPHY
Strong financial, social and environmental performance are all equally important.
Equinox Gold’s executives and directors have established governance policies that provide the framework for our corporate culture and business practices. The governance policies are carefully considered from the outset, recognizing their central role in managing Equinox Gold’s business activities and ensuring the company’s long-term success.
Executives and directors share the philosophy that strong financial, social and environmental performance are all equally important to the company’s success. Equinox Gold’s leadership team is committed to upholding the highest environmental, safety and social standards while focusing on delivering the financial growth our shareholders expect.
OUR COMMITMENT
Equinox Gold’s success as a company, in both the public markets and the communities in which it operates, is based on its reputation for sound corporate governance and ethical business practices. Equinox Gold’s leadership team has built a strong reputation in the industry for managing both companies and projects to the highest standards, with a clear commitment to governance, responsible mining and transparent communication.
