Due to the nature of the business, gold companies have high environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk. While companies do an excellent job managing these risks, historically, they have done a poor job of reporting their ESG activities and accomplishments to the public.

As ESG gains equal time to operations and finance in reports, meetings, and calls with investors, this is rapidly changing. Company websites have entire sections on sustainability, while the quantity and quality of information is improving. We invest in companies that do an excellent job of managing social issues, water, tailings, reclamation, safety and health.
