COMPAGNIE DES BAUXITES DE GUINEE
Protecting biodiversity Sustainability sits at the heart of CBG ’ s vision for its mining operations and , like many in the mining industry today , Traore and his team are keen to balance its mammoth expansion programme with the need to preserve the nation ’ s environmental integrity and biodiversity .
To this end , CBG has created a pioneering Biodiversity Management System to oversee and manage the project ’ s biodiversity impact . This crucial programme outlines the company ’ s key environmental strategies and these include : creating a buffer zone around the habitats of critically endangered and endangered species ; offsetting any impact to the country ’ s endangered chimpanzee habitat ; reducing noise pollution by using surface mining techniques and avoiding dredging during species ’ breeding season .
With its burgeoning operations and proactive sense of social responsibility , the Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée is , by all means , a mammoth operation . The day-to-day running of CBG is a challenging feat but thanks to the company ’ s committed workforce and adept management under Traore , it has established itself as a major player in the mining sector .
Cooperating with industry leaders The team at CBG is a tight knit one but this sense of togetherness hasn ’ t been closed off to CBG and its employees – it ’ s a philosophy that is ingrained in its relationships with the mine ’ s partners and suppliers . Whether its gaining industry knowledge from partners enhancing the railway system like Canarail Consultants Inc , or handling materials thanks to equipment from Takraf , Traore and his team understand that the company ’ s partnerships are an integral component of its success .
CBG ’ s operations are , by all means , on a global scale . Therefore , by gaining only the best expertise from industry partners like TIG +, Vinci Construction , Tecnasol , MTN Business Guinea Conakry , Transco and Aden Services , CBG has continued to evolve over its 45-year history and has kept up-todate with the latest industry know-how . Unquestionably , the Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée is helping
