We create value through our environmental and social leadership

We are trusted by our owners and partners to realise the potential of their resources.

Our Approach

We acknowledge the importance of our social licence to operate, that it is earned and maintained on an ongoing basis and that trust in us is an outcome of the quality of our relationships with many stakeholders.

Each of our operations exist in a unique social context which has its own belief systems and communication norms. Navigating these unique and complex social systems can be challenging and requires a commitment to regular, open and honest dialogue and the ability to identify and work towards shared objectives.

We work with our communities and, where possible, in partnerships with regional government and local community organisations.  Our approach to working with our host communities is outlined in our internal standards, our Sustainability Policy and Code of Business Conduct. This includes our commitment to adhere to the United Nations Global Compact principles.
