Embedding sustainability
Sustainability is core to the Group ethos and strategy and is a crucial element of the performance excellence pillar of our refreshed Group strategy. Our Sustainability framework advances performance excellence through the themes of planet, people, prosperity, and governance.
As responsible resource stewards, we produce quality materials required for the global energy transition through responsible mining, processing, reclaiming and recycling practices that mitigate impacts on both people and the planet. Our commitment to sustainability allows us to strive to create a positive impact through decisive actions and meaningful initiatives, generating superior value that we share with our stakeholders to eradicate poverty, curb climate change, protect ecosystems and promote intergenerational equity.
Our Sustainability strategic framework is designed to reduce risk, be beneficial for our employee value proposition, positively engage stakeholders, enhance our brand capital and enterprise value and ultimately embed sustainability as the way we do business.
Our sustainability themes can be summed up as:
- Planet: climate action and nature stewardship
- People: respecting people’s rights; valuing our people (employees); social inclusion and community impact
- Prosperity: a profitable business enabling shared value and a net positive legacy
- Governance: corporate trust, ethical, transparent and accountable practices
