Our approach to sustainability

Our Sustainability Strategy places environmental stewardship at the centre of how we operate. Through responsible resource use, climate action and innovation, we work to minimise environmental impacts while supporting long-term resilience of ecosystems and communities where we operate.

What are the focus areas for Healthy Environment?

Our Healthy Environment focus areas address the most material environmental risks and opportunities across our operations. These include climate change, biodiversity and land stewardship, water management, mineral residue management and circular economy practices.
