Governance
As a global organisation, we comply with the highest international standards of corporate governance. We direct and control our company in a transparent and accountable way.
We also work with key organisations and other stakeholders to increase the mining industry's overall transparency and accountability. One example is our long-standing participation in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).
