COMMUNITY RELATIONS

It is company’s policy to always maintain excellent working relationship with the various local communities where it operates. This not only helps ensure a good working environment for our employees but also enables the company's policy to provide amenities for the communities in which it operates.

  

The company tries wherever possible to employ members of host communities. This employment is not restricted to only low level labour, but also technical personnel. However, with necessity in ensuring that jobs are done to specification and safely, we restrict some employment categories on high specification technical jobs to people with proven work-related experience.

  

It is also company’s policy to provide social amenities within its areas of operations. Social amenities may include provision of potable water and rehabilitation of roads etc., which also makes for a better working relationship with host communities. The highlights of Tilone’s Community Relation Policy are as follows:

• To establish a world class community relation program that will bring about sustainable development to host communities.

• To continually engage in open communications with host communities.

• To involve, at an early stage where practicable, the host communities in planning the execution of any given project.

• To work in a partnership with the host communities from the inception of any project through agreed programmes and regularly scheduled community relation forums.

• To continuously aid host communities through community projects and explore additional avenues that the company may be of assistance to the communities.

• To be in regular contact with host communities and monitor companies’ relationship with the  communities through social visits and also through the extension of invitations to community leaders, executives of Community Development Committees (C.D.C.) and associated interest groups.
