We continue to employ 93 percent of Lao-national employees and many of them have achieved their 10- or 15-year service. On behalf of the company’s management, we extend our thanks and value their contributions as they mark their long-standing milestones and achievements.” Environment Superintendent Han Chanthavong achieved his 10-year milestone with Phu Bia Mining while contributing his knowledge and skills to maintain our world-class environmental management and monitoring practices.
Han said: “I commenced with Phu Bia Mining conducting environmental management and monitoring activities. Over the past 10 years, I have progressed in my career from a junior role to a superintendent level. This has been thanks to a range of in-house and external professional development and training programmes supported by the Company.
“Phu Bia Mining is a great place to work. I have gone from no mining knowledge and expertise to learning and applying international best practice environmental management and monitoring practices. I am thankful that my career is rich and rewarding, enabling my ability to learn and develop further,” Chanthavong added.
