Community & Society
We’re a business with a purpose and believe trust and transparency are essential to the way we operate.
Our communities
We go through rigorous processes to understand the unique social, cultural and legal contexts we’re operating in. We have regular, open and honest conversations to better understand what our stakeholders need and expect.
Community investment
Wherever we operate, we believe we have a responsibility to get behind our communities. More than this, we’re proud to do so – backing community programs, supporting new facilities and infrastructure, and promoting local employment and business opportunities.
Working with communities
We’re committed to setting a benchmark in the industry – creating value through our environmental and social leadership. Doing this means we can better work with our communities and other stakeholders and create the right kinds of legacies.
Our human rights approach
Respect for human rights is fundamental to how we do business at South32 and reflects our values of care, trust, togetherness and excellence. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it is critical to the success and integrity of our business.
Transparency
Without transparency, we wouldn’t have the trust and respect of the communities we’ve been involved in, or the reputation we’ve worked so hard to build.
