Sustainability & Community Impact
At New Norodom Mines Limited, we believe that true success in mining goes beyond the gemstones we extract, it lives in the lives we touch, the land we protect, and the legacy
we leave behind. Sustainability and community empowerment are not side projects for us; they are the heartbeat of our business.
From our earliest days, we made a promise: to mine responsibly and to give more back to Zambia than we take from it. This promise guides every decision, shaping how we plan, operate, and grow. We view our operations as a shared journey with the communities around us — one where progress and preservation move together, not apart.
Environmental Stewardship
We recognize that every gemstone we unearth is a gift from the earth. That’s why New Norodom’s mining methods are rooted in environmental respect and rehabilitation. We use modern, low-impact extraction techniques, ensuring minimal disruption to ecosystems and surrounding habitats. Our reclamation program restores mined areas through tree planting, soil restoration, and water management, allowing the land to heal and thrive for future generations.
We are also committed to sustainable energy and waste management practices, investing in clean technologies and efficient resource use. Our long-term goal is to move toward carbon-neutral operations, setting a new benchmark for responsible mining in Zambia’s gemstone sector.
Community Empowerment
For us, community empowerment is the most precious gem of all. New Norodom Mines actively partners with local leaders and cooperatives to create employment, training, and business opportunities within our areas of operation. Through skill development programs, we equip young Zambians, especially women and youth, with technical and entrepreneurial skills that last a lifetime.
We invest in what matters most: education, healthcare, and local infrastructure. From building classrooms and supporting teachers, to improving access to clean water and health services, Norodom stands as a catalyst for inclusive growth.
