From providing jobs and business opportunities, to empowering suppliers and supporting community programs, we know we can make a positive contribution to the way people live and work.
That’s why we consider community needs. Whether it means hiring and buying locally, or managing the impacts of our operations, we listen to people and act on the issues they raise.
To us, building these relationships is common sense. The stronger our communities are, the better we can work together, thrive together and create a positive legacy together.
We follow through on what we say, our Sustainability Policy, Code of Business Conduct and adherence to the United Nations Global Compact principles helps us do this. This guides the way we do things internally and helps us assess our work with local communities and development programs.
We are committed to working with Indigenous, Traditional and Tribal Peoples to ensure mining and cultural heritage can co-exist.
Many of our operations and projects intersect areas of cultural significance and we understand we have a critical role to play in minimising impact and preserving cultural heritage.
During FY22, our team at Cerro Matoso in Colombia celebrated eight years of positive dialogue with surrounding communities.
For the last three years, we have been working to deepen our relationship with the Wilman and Wardandi peoples of the Noongar nation, who are the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters and territories on which Worsley Alumina is located.
In FY22, we continued to mature our approach to managing cultural heritage by facilitating a series of workshops with internal and external stakeholders to develop a risk profile for our Australian operations.
