Our success in truly achieving sustainable development relies on all of us

The importance of sustainable development in our business cannot be emphasised enough, that’s why it forms a key part of our strategy. As a Group, our position in this area is clear: we will endeavour to mine safely, responsibly and sustainably, to the highest values and standards, and in doing so maintain our licence to operate.

We have already shown leadership in many areas related to sustainability. Our commitment to employee safety, our pioneering work in the field of HIV/AIDS, and our internationally recognised enterprise development programmes have all contributed to us being recognised as an industry leader, a proponent for change and a force for good.

However, we know that there is still a great deal more to be done, and that’s where our employees can help. We want our people to take the same proactive approach as our businesses, demonstrating integrity, innovation and the courage of their convictions as they help us make a real and positive difference in the communities and countries where we operate.

Today, issues surrounding climate change, energy and water security dominate our industry. These may be global issues but progress can be made at a local level and, in many cases, we have witnessed individual inspiration generate solutions on a grand scale. 

Our success in truly achieving sustainable development relies on all of us. It’s about pulling together, setting the pace and having the aspiration and ambition to be the leading global mining company. If we can achieve that, we will continue to create benefits for generations to come, well beyond the life of our mines.
