Ethical value chain - milestones and targets
2025 (Mine certification)
All operations to undergo third-party audits against recognised responsible mine certification systems.
We are improving accountability by transforming the relationship between our mining operations, the communities where we operate, and wider society. We are part of an ethical value chain and provide products to our customers that are sourced responsibly, meeting the highest ethical and sustainability standards. We are proud to be advocates for what we believe is right and to work as partners to solve complex problems through our public policy engagement.
Having met our SMP interim target in 2022 of having half our operations undergo thirdparty audits against recognised responsible mine certification systems, we continue to work towards our 2025 target for audits of all operations.

A sustainable business has an enduring purpose in society and considers the many different forms of value that it can deliver for its stakeholders, in all its decision-making.
We aim to be part of an ethical value chain that respects human rights and is free from slavery. To date, we have produced six Modern Slavery Statements published in compliance with the UK Modern Slavery Act, and three Modern Slavery Statements in compliance with the Australian Modern Slavery Act.
