What guides us

Our Sustainability Policy sets out our commitment to sustainability through continuously improving our sustainability performance, optimising our positive contributions, and minimising adverse impacts. This commitment supports the delivery of our purpose and strategy and underpins the five interconnected pillars of our sustainability approach.

The Policy is guided by a number of global and industry sustainability initiatives, including:

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs): We focus on the UN SDGs where we can have the most meaningful impact and have identified 19 priority targets that our activities seek to support;

United Nations Global Compact (UNGC): We are a participant in the UNGC, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. As part of our commitment, we publish an annual Communication on Progress, which is available publicly; and

International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM):ICMM's Mining Principles, Performance Expectations and Position Statements set good practice environmental, social and governance performance requirements for members, which are embedded in our sustainability-related governance documents.

Beyond these initiatives, our sustainability approach is guided by key global standards and frameworks that inform how we identify, manage and disclose sustainability-related risks and opportunities.

These include the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD); Australian Sustainability Reporting Standard AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures; and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
