By integrating EDI into daily culture, B2Gold enhances employee satisfaction, strengthens unity, and upholds its role as a forward-thinking industry leader.
The Challenge

By the guidelines of EDI, B2Gold seek to amplify instances where these principles are already in practice and foster opportunities where they are lacking.
