How We Work
Around the world, we’re helping people improve their lives through the development of natural resources.
We produce bauxite, alumina, aluminium, metallurgical coal, manganese, nickel, silver, lead and zinc in Australia, Southern Africa and South America. We also own a highgrade zinc, lead and silver development option in North America and have partnered with several junior explorers with a bias to base metals.
Whether it’s for use in infrastructure, energy generation, consumables or vehicles, we believe the extraction and processing of minerals and metals can be done in a responsible way.
That’s why we continually challenge ourselves to be the best in what matters – the safety and wellbeing of our people and communities, our operational performance, and minimising our environmental impact.
Our purpose is to make a difference
Our purpose is to make a difference by developing natural resources, improving people’s lives now and for generations to come. We’re trusted by our owners and partners to realise the potential of their resources.
We do this by creating local jobs, empowering and investing in communities, and contributing to governments through paying taxes and royalties – while achieving sector-leading returns for our shareholders.
Our strategy
Our purpose is underpinned by our strategy:
- Optimise our business by working safely, minimising our impact, consistently delivering stable and predictable performance, and continually improving our competitiveness;
- Unlock the full value of our business through our people, innovation, projects and technology; and
- Identify and pursue opportunities to sustainably reshape our business for the future, and create enduring social, environmental and economic value.
