Our Critical Foundations

We are a leader in an industry critical to all our futures – our products are changing the world. We foster a culture combining technological innovation with utmost consideration for our employees and everyone we interact with.

Zero harm is always our primary objective. We are getting there through creating an environment where every employee feels confident enough to do the right thing by speaking out each time they encounter a situation they feel is potentially unsafe.

We respect the UN and other international agreements recognising human rights. We work with governments at all levels and other authorities to ensure human rights are understood and protected as we strive to improve lives and livelihoods in our host communities.

This is a business-critical issue for us. We believe we must draw from the widest possible talent pool, and especially ensure continuing higher female representation at all levels, if we are to enhance our performance and maintain a competitive advantage.

Our comprehensive set of policies and standards helps us to manage and mitigate risks, as well as ensure that we uphold the commitments to our stakeholders and work towards a common set of ambitions.

We need to be cognisant of evolving international mining best practice – which may well go beyond legal compliance.
