We are committed to protecting human rights and delivering positive outcomes in the communities where we operate. Troilus is committed to respecting the rights of workers and not engaging in practices of forced or child labour nor using suppliers that engage in such practices.
Troilus is located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of northern Quebec and enjoys an open, honest, transparent and respectful dialogue with the provincial and regional governments and the local communities of Chibougamau, Chapais and Mistissini. At Troilus, our objective is to contribute to the social and economic development of sustainable communities associated with our operation to ensure a legacy of improvement that will continue beyond the life cycle of the mine.
We will support our local communities and their sustainability through measures such as development programs, locally sourcing goods and services, capacity building of local small and medium enterprises, financial support for community initiatives and employing local people.
