Living Our Values, Celebrating Our People

OceanaGold Corporation has implemented a comprehensive culture initiative called 'Living Our Values' as part of its broader organizational development strategy. The program is designed to recognize and celebrate employees who demonstrate the company's five core values: Care, Respect, Integrity, Performance, and Teamwork.

The initiative generated significant employee engagement, receiving more than 200 nominations from across OceanaGold's global operations. From this substantial pool of candidates, 10 employees were ultimately selected for recognition, indicating a competitive and meaningful selection process that validates the program's impact on workforce culture.

This corporate culture initiative reflects broader industry trends toward enhanced employee engagement and retention in the mining sector, where companies increasingly recognize that strong organizational culture is essential for operational excellence and safety performance. For OceanaGold, a mid-tier gold producer with operations across multiple jurisdictions, maintaining a unified corporate culture across diverse geographic locations presents both challenges and opportunities for competitive advantage.

The success of this program, as measured by the high level of employee participation in nominations, suggests that OceanaGold's investment in culture development is resonating with its workforce and may contribute to improved operational performance, safety outcomes, and employee retention in an increasingly competitive labor market for mining professionals.
