Strategies to Progress Our Inclusion and Diversity Journey

Business resource groups (BRGs) were introduced at Newmont in 2014.

Newmont recognizes BRGs as critical partners for ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard and diversity of thought is celebrated and leveraged with participation open to all employees.
