A Letter from our President & CEO
At OceanaGold, the foundation of our success is our people.
Our Vision is to be a company that people trust, want to work with, and are proud to be a part of. That is why culture matters deeply to me and to every member of our leadership team. Every day, we strive to create a workplace where we are all engaged, inspired and aligned by shared goals, able to contribute and take action, and celebrate each other’s achievements.
Our Values of Care, Respect, Integrity, Performance and Teamwork are not just posters on our walls; they guide how we work, collaborate, grow, and achieve together.

An Equal Opportunity Employer
We aspire to reflect the diversity of the communities in which we live and work and strive to ensure that every person feels valued, included and can perform at their best. Our performance excels when everyone brings their unique self to work, when every talent is used, and every voice is heard.
We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. That means we do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability status or any other applicable characteristics protected by law. We celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity, and recognize the value, insight and innovation that both deliver.
People First: An Unwavering Commitment to Safety
For us, our primary goal is everyone goes home safely every day. Our core safety programs actively encourage and support safe working practices through behavioural awareness, taking the time to identify hazards, and verifying critical controls. Every meeting starts with a safety or values share, and we ensure our people have the knowledge, skills and resources to operate safely.
Our People & Culture Policies
We are committed to creating a psychologically safe, inclusive and respectful work environment, free from any form of bullying, intimidation or harassment.
