CSR Focus Areas

Our sustainability strategy in Africa focuses on three broad areas:
• High impact initiatives that contribute to Africa’s development:
Working with Government, industry and other stakeholders on issues such as promoting corporate governance, job creation and regulatory enhancements.

• Skills development:
Which includes equipping our people and the people of our country with the necessary skills to make a positive contribution to the future growth of our economy.

• Community upliftment projects:
Giving our time and resources to assist communities or identified recipients, for example donations of food or blankets, Christmas parties for underprivileged children etc.

Working in the extractives industry for over thirty years, Robin’s career started underground as a mining engineer, gradually shifting towards project management, and then taking an unexpected yet rewarding turn towards community relations in Ghana back in 2005. Since then, his path has led him through a diverse range of cultures and countries, from Madagascar to Vietnam, each teaching invaluable lessons about the importance of building positive, mutually beneficial relationships between companies and communities. AAMEG appreciates the effort and level of dedication Robin has continually shown to strengthen AAMEG’s position as the peak body representing Australian companies engaged in the development of Africa’s resource industry, and we are excited to have him on board for life.

Trish is an international social policy and planning specialist with more than 30 years’ experience across the mining, government, health and not for profit sectors. Her breadth of experience includes child protection, seniors and aged care, social justice, community engagement and development, all levels of Government strategy and policy development, and, significant contribution to the Australian extractives sector. In her immediate past CEO position with AAMEG, Trish was responsible for building strong alliances among Australian companies and Australiana and African Governments. Strongly believing that the Australian extractive sector operating across Africa provides great opportunity to be creative and develop sustainable solutions for poverty reduction, Trish’s passion for creating sustainable solutions that empower communities, build capacity and contribute to the development of a just society is a key reason why AAMEG awarded Trish a life membership. Trish currently works as an independent consultant, Tribunal and Board member and continues to work with organisations to make a sustainable and positive difference to individuals and communities. We are extremely grateful for the significant contribution Trish has made to AAMEG.
