Our Sustainability Vision
We seek to be among the best sustainability performers internationally, consistent with our "Deliver the Promise" principles of commercial ownership, creative customer solutions, working together and valuing people and the environment.

We aspire to become a business that does no harm to people and the environment. Our sustainability vision is underpinned by our SH&E Policy commitments to:

  • Value people and the environment; and to achieve
  • No injuries to anyone, ever.

Going forward, we further aim to be:

Carbon neutral - no net generation of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere;

Water neutral - no net consumption of potable water;

Zero waste - no net generation of waste to landfill and requires innovative ways to prevent, reduce, reuse and recycle by-product streams; and

Environmentally friendly - operations, products and services that have no unintended consequences to the environment and the community.

...in a commercially responsible way.
