The company’s strategy to work and cooperate with local community and local authorities is one of the main priorities.

At Beralb sh.a we encourage the employment of the locals, specializing them in the mining activity and prevent their migration to other areas in search of a job. Currently, the percentage of the locals that are staff involved in the company and its production activity constitute about 93% of the total employment.Fushe-Arrez with approximately 4,600 inhabitants is located in the district of Puka in Northern Albania, around 200 km to the North of Tirana. The company from more than a decade is developing mining activities in this municipality and in the two communes of Qaf Mali and Gjegjan by employing  about 500 local people.

Beralb Sh.a is the main provider of local taxes and biggest employer in the area.

To further continue work with local authorities we have shown responsibility in support of the surrounding infrastructure in the mining area, local communities and wider, and as part of its Social Company Responsibility Program, Beralb sh.a has made several Sponsorships in support of many local activities and initiatives.

The company believes that the work progresses when the community itself will support it. The company has organized its work through a transparency model with the community for all its operations and by conducting continuous consultation with local authorities.
