Community Engagement and Support

Northern Star values our connection to the communities in which we operate and actively encourages open dialogue with local communities and key stakeholders.
We regard our positive reputation as a vital strategic advantage and seek to ensure that local communities benefit from our presence.
As a minimum, we honour our obligations under all applicable legislation and in line with our STARR Core Values and provide sound guidelines and processes to respect and positively engage our local communities.
We value and seek long-term and trust-based relationships
We value and seek long-term and trust-based relationships with all our local and broader stakeholder communities; relationships where stakeholders are respected, understood, and better off for having Northern Star operate nearby.
