Case Study: Guinea Alumina Corporation achieves faster, more transparent resettlement compensation with Borealis

How a bauxite extraction project in the Republic of Guinea shaved time off its resettlement process with Borealis stakeholder engagement software

Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC) faced a major challenge when its manual, spreadsheet-based process for resettling eight villages and compensating residents could not keep pace with its aggressive construction schedule, threatening project delays. This time-intensive method was prone to errors, lacked transparency, and struggled with fluctuating exchange rates, prompting GAC to adopt the Borealis Asset and Land Access Management software.

By implementing the Borealis solution, GAC automated its compensation and resettlement tasks. This eliminated manual data entry, automatically calculated payments, and generated ready-to-sign documents. The results were significant: the process became faster and more accurate, trust with local communities was greatly enhanced, and the company could easily demonstrate compliance with IFC performance standards. Borealis software was a key factor in helping GAC complete its construction phase on schedule.
