KMC has partnered with the local community, various stakeholders and contractors to keep Kamativi clean. We strive to keep the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) up-to-date to ensure compliance with the Environmental Management Act Chapter 20.27.
As a consciously environmentally friendly organisation, we conduct periodic training on integrated waste management, sustainable use of resources and environmental monitoring. KMC complies to Environmental Days such as the National Tree Planting Day. The company purchased trees to motivate the Kamativi community to plant and conserve trees, enhance biodiversity and household food security. The company is pursuing sustainable purchasing to ensure KMC contributes to reduction of the carbon footprint.

- IRMA Certification
KMC is also working towards getting the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) certification which is a global demand for more socially and environmentally responsible mining, i.e. a global initiative thriving for investors and mining companies to adopt “responsible mining and investments” standards.
