Sustainability Report<br />
Fair operating practices<br />
We are committed to high-level governance and ethical business conducts, and strongly believe that bribery,<br />
corruption, unfair supply chain practices and other similar behaviour that violate the rule of fair play would<br />
negatively affect the Company’s image and undermine its future performance. The Code and other guidelines<br />
clearly prohibit bribery and corruption in all forms of business dealings. We also strive to implement socially<br />
responsible supply chain practices and anti-corruption practices by working closely with our suppliers, host<br />
communities and relevant government agencies. A system is in place to ensure that our procurement practices<br />
are free from unfair business dealings.<br />
We have an independent internal audit function as well as a donation/sponsorship committee which prevent<br />
from all kinds of unfair dealings or making of payments in kind (gifts or favours) to influence individuals to award<br />
business opportunities to us or to make a business decision in our favour.<br />
We are committed to cooperative, respectful and positive dialogue with policymakers and government agencies<br />
of Mongolia. We believe this should be based on genuine consultation and accountability. In doing so, MMC<br />
participates in and contributes to all major public policy discussions and initiatives through proactive engagement<br />
with policymakers on a wide range of issues including dialogue on the operational and legal environment<br />
surrounding the mining industry in Mongolia.<br />
We recorded no cases of bribery, corruption or unethical business conduct in the reporting period.<br />
OUR PEOPLE<br />
A skilled and motivated workforce is central to our successful business operation. We engage our people over<br />
the long term and in line with our overall business strategy. We believe that it is essential to encourage diversity<br />
while providing a safe, challenging and exciting working environment where our employees can realize their full<br />
potential. Fair opportunities are provided at every level of our business operation and good performance and<br />
leadership are rewarded accordingly. As one of the largest private employers at both local and national level, we<br />
seek to:<br />
• Provide equal employment opportunities and respect the rights of our people;<br />
• Recruit based on skills and experience and support local employment wherever possible, within the<br />
framework of our community development strategy. Our aim is to recruit and maintain at least 30% of our<br />
workforce from the local communities;<br />
• Offer compensation and benefit schemes that are competitive within the Mongolian mining industry; and<br />
• Ensure that our employees are aware of and follow the ethical working standards and other internal<br />
procedures of the Company through the Code.<br />
Our human resources (“HR”) activities are in full compliance with the Mongolian Labour Law and other relevant<br />
legislation. We have passed the state labour inspections with outstanding results compared to other mining<br />
companies operating in Mongolia since 2012. In 2014, we were officially informed that no formal labour<br />
inspections will be carried out in 2015 to 2017 due to our exceptional HR performance. Nonetheless, we continue<br />
to have a strong focus on development at all levels within the Company and strengthening our HR system.<br />
