Environmental Stewardship
Kilo firmly believes that minimizing the environmental impacts of its activities and building cooperative working relationships with local communities is not only a good business practice, it is essential for the long-term operation of the company and ultimately a necessity to achieve the best possible outcome for shareholders.
Kilo's management has also taken steps to ensure that all employees and suppliers respect and adhere to the laws of the DRC with respect to the protection of threatened and endangered species. All employees and contract workers are briefed on this matter and understand that the purchase, sale or possession or the causing of harm to any animal which belongs to a threatened or endangered species can be grounds for immediate dismissal.
Workplace Health and Safety
Kilo has been proactive in developing good practices related to a safe and healthy workplace for employees, contractors, subcontractors, and local populations. The company is committed to continuously looking for opportunites to minimize risks with the aim of preventing accidents and occupational related illnesses.
