The Maysen Group Trust (MGT) invests in mining projects that prioritize responsible and sustainable practices.
This is of paramount importance in advocating for environmental stewardship and securing the long-term viability of the mining sector. MGT is particularly inclined towards investing in projects that:
- Protect the Environment: This entails minimizing waste generation, preventing pollution, and restoring areas affected by mining. For instance, MGT may choose to invest in projects that employ water treatment technologies to combat water pollution or undertake reforestation efforts to restore mined landscapes.
- Ensure Worker Safety and Well-being: This involves providing a secure working environment, safeguarding the health of workers, and offering training in safety protocols. As an example, MGT may opt to invest in projects that supply safety gear like hard hats and respirators, or extend medical care to workers who sustain injuries during work.
- Respect Local Community Rights: This entails engaging in consultations with local communities regarding mining activities and ensuring that these communities derive benefits from the mining operations. For instance, MGT may invest in projects that financially compensate local communities or create employment opportunities for local residents.
To date, MGT has invested nearly $580 million in mining projects in diverse regions including Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Tanzania, Mozambique, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkey.
These investments have been realized through various means such as project and trade financing, underwriting, and project acquisitions.
MGT's steadfast belief is that mining can be transformed into a sustainable industry through responsible practices. By investing in projects that champion responsible mining, MGT is actively contributing to the creation of a more sustainable future that benefits everyone.
