Introduction

The Global voice focus area within the Trusted Corporate Leader theme is how we use our voice to shape global standards, catalyse multi-sector impact and advocate for responsible business, driving enduring positive outcomes.

Our enduring reputation as a responsible mining company is a critical enabler to securing and sustaining a licence to operate, and is essential for building effective partnerships with stakeholders along the value chain. Our reputation and relationships support our proven delivery capabilities to enable us to unlock the full potential of the growth opportunities within our portfolio and others that may become available, in the jurisdictions where our experience and track record are most valuable and most valued. 

The value we place on our reputation drives us to ensure we keep delivering on our promises to shareholders, the communities in which we operate, our customers, our employees and society at large, while we continue advocating for higher standards in the mining industry. 

We recognise that our responsibilities and commitments as a business must extend above and beyond legal compliance. We advocate for higher industry standards, cross-sectoral topic-specific standards and disclosures and reporting through a multi-stakeholder governance model, and we provide a business voice in the development of effective policy and regulation to support development of critical mineral projects.

Our approach

We recognise that our responsibilities and commitments as a business must extend above and beyond legal compliance if we are to build relationships of trust with stakeholders.

  • We contribute to industry best practice by shaping the development of some of the most trusted sustainability certification programmes through industry bodies and multi-stakeholder initiatives.
  • We advocate for higher industry standards (e.g. IRMA, ICMM, GISTM), cross-sectoral topic-specific standards and disclosures (e.g., Climate: TCFD, Nature: TNFD) and reporting (stakeholder value measurement: Value Balancing Alliance) through a multi-stakeholder governance model.
  • We provide a business voice – at local, regional and global levels – in the development of effective policy and regulation to support development of critical mineral projects that enable the green transition, economic development and food security.
