Supporting local and Indigenous businesses in Canada’s remote Northwest Territories. The Gahcho Kué diamond mine in Canada, our joint venture with Mountain Province Diamonds, has reached a major milestone – surpassing CA$2 billion in procurement spend with local businesses since 2015, representing 61% of the total amount spent on procurement at the mine since this time. This reflects Gahcho Kué’s approach to prioritising Indigenous and Northwest Territories businesses when procuring goods and services, with 2023 representing the highest level of spending with local businesses since construction. Through these investments, Gahcho Kué is focused on maximising the benefits that local communities derive from the mine’s operations. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gyZ5i-3X #DeBeers #diamonds
