OPERATING ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY

We are committed to respecting human rights, upholding high standards of integrity and accountability, and applying responsible business practices across our value chain and in the way we plan for and implement closure.

Closure

Closure

As a responsible custodian of the lands we operate on, closure forms an expected and crucial part of our life of operation planning and execution. 

Ethics and business integrity

Ethics and business integrity

We are committed to the highest standards of integrity and accountability. Our values and Code of Business Conduct guide how we act, work and communicate and set the standards of conduct that we expect.

We encourage our people to speak up when our values and standards of conduct are not being followed. Our Speak Up Policy, which is our global whistleblower policy, outlines how to report a business conduct concern, what happens when a report is made and how we protect the reporter.
