Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments form part of B2Gold Namibia’s long-term sustainability strategy and are distinct from operational staffing decisions. The company believes that strong community relations and targeted investments in health, education, livelihoods, and environmental initiatives are essential during every phase of the Life of Mine. 

Recently, B2Gold re-evaluated and refined its CSR strategy to focus more deliberately on areas directly impacted by the mine’s operational shift, particularly at Otavi and Otjiwarongo. 

In 2024, B2Gold continued supporting flagship initiatives such as the Ombili Primary School, Ombili Clinic, the Otavi Water Project, and Eduvision Smart Classrooms, all of which benefit thousands of Namibians beyond the company’s workforce. These projects are part of a broader responsible closure and legacy strategy aimed at strengthening community resilience. 

B2Gold has taken deliberate steps to ensure its CSR investments are not perceived as contradictory, but rather as part of a broader commitment to shared value. The company’s leadership continues to engage openly and sensitively with employees, local leaders, and broader stakeholder groups.
