At Kilwa Enterprises, sustainability is not an afterthought — it is the foundation of our business strategy.
We understand that mining can only be truly successful when it delivers lasting value to people, the environment, and the economies in which we operate.
Our operations in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are governed by one guiding principle:
“To mine responsibly today, for a sustainable Africa tomorrow.”
Through responsible production of copper, cobalt, gold, diamonds, and other metals, we aim to power the global transition to clean energy and sustainable manufacturing, while ensuring that the people of our host countries benefit directly from every ton we produce.
Our Zambian operations are anchored in the Copperbelt and North-Western Provinces, regions that have long depended on mining for livelihood. Kilwa’s goal is to redefine that relationship — transforming mining into a driver of inclusive growth.
Key Community Development Initiatives:
Mining in Zambia’s Copperbelt demands environmental discipline and innovation. Kilwa has implemented a comprehensive Environmental Management System (EMS) aligned with ISO 14001, focusing on reducing emissions, conserving water, and restoring ecosystems.
Environmental Actions & Metrics:
Safety is the first and last priority in every Kilwa operation. We maintain a “Zero Harm” philosophy — protecting employees, contractors, and communities through prevention, training, and accountability.
Performance Highlights:
Safety Culture:
“Every Life Matters” — our internal program that empowers every employee to stop unsafe work, regardless of rank.
Kilwa believes partnerships create deeper, lasting impact. In Zambia, we work hand-in-hand with:
Signature Project 2025:
Kilwa Enterprises and UNDP Zambia co-launched the “Mine2Market” initiative — an accelerator that supports small-scale miners to formalize operations, access finance, and meet environmental standards.
While Zambia remains our flagship sustainability hub, Kilwa continues to deepen its social footprint in the DRC, particularly in Lualaba, Haut-Katanga, and Kasai Provinces.
Kilwa Enterprises operates under a strong governance structure ensuring accountability and ethical conduct.

Ethical Minerals Policy:
All copper, cobalt, and diamonds exported by Kilwa are verified through certified chains of custody — ensuring no material from conflict zones or illegal artisanal sources enters our supply.
