15 May 2015

Acacia is pleased to announce that North Mara has been named as the overall winner of the 2014 residential Awards for Corporate Social Responsibility and Empowerment (CSRE) in Tanzania. In addition to being named as the overall winner, North Mara was also awarded the large scale mining CSRE Presidential Award and Buzwagi was awarded the CSRE Presidential Award for Infrastructure as a result of its investment in improving the road network close to the mine.

The awards are part of a programme jointly run by the Tanzanian Ministry of Energy and Minerals and the Extractive Inter-Stakeholders Forum and were launched in 2012 to recognise the CSR performance of companies operating in the extractive sector.

Potential award recipients are judged by an independent panel of judges who travel to each of the sites to adjudicate participating operations on their commitment to sustainable community wellbeing, human resource development and training, local industry participation, social infrastructure contributions and the integration of the energy and minerals sector with other areas of the economy.
