We are a global leader in mining and natural resources focused on adding value for shareholders, customers, employees and the communities in which we operate. We spend some US$10 billion annually with suppliers across the globe and it is therefore essential that we establish and maintain reciprocal commercial and ethical relationships with them.
We procure a broad range of capital equipment, goods and services, and we embrace free and fair competition.
Supply chain sustainable development
Reflecting our commitment to sustainable development, we promote responsible procurement activities and expect our supply chain to embrace and share this commitment.
Our aim is a workplace that is grounded in integrity, is safe, healthy and considerate of employees’ wellbeing and which recognises that the environment is the life-giving foundation for our operations and our local communities.
We cannot achieve sustainable development on our own and the responsibility for building a sustainable future extends beyond our own operations into those of our suppliers.
We ask our suppliers to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable development by working in safe and healthy ways, demonstrating good labour practice, reducing their environmental impacts, being ethical and working with communities to address key challenges such as those of AIDS, poverty and underdevelopment.
We work in partnership to create sustainable value through
collaboration and innovation within our supply chain.
It is our intention that through this, we will become the
customer of choice to our suppliers, managing an efficient,
innovative and collaborative supply chain.
Our commitment to sustainable development in the supply chain and our expectations of suppliers are outlined in the following documents available under Related downloads:
