Strategic report | Our approach to ESG | Climate Action Plan

We encourage industry associations to align all climate related advocacy with the goals of the Paris Agreement. We publish our review of the climate advocacy of industry associations annually. Our approach to policy advocacy has been informed by our regular engagement with investors and stakeholders. Our climate related advocacy is focussed on policy and other measures which enable decarbonisation of operational emissions, production of metals and minerals required for the energy transition and support for the goals of the Paris Agreement. Below are examples of the focus areas and objectives for engagement on key climate policy areas. Industry associations and civil society Industry associations and civil society organisations play an important role in policy development and reform. Industry associations’ views will not always be the same as ours, so we periodically review our memberships in individual associations. This assessment may include: – the purpose of the association and the value the membership may provide to our business and our investors – appropriate governance structures within the industry association policy positions and advocacy of the industry association. Where our membership is significant, we will work in partnership with industry associations with the aim of aligning these policy positions with our climate and energy policy. Where significant differences in policy positions arise we may: – provide greater clarity on our own policy positions, through standalone direct company submissions on policy issues or direct engagement with policy makers – work as part of that industry association to understand alternative points of view and to seek common ground or seek a broader balanced response to areas of difference – seek a leadership position in the governance body of that industry association to further influence the policies and perspectives of that association, or – suspend our membership, if it seems formal dialogue processes undertaken for more than 12 months will not resolve our differences in positions. In making this decision we would also consider other benefits (unrelated to climate change) membership of such associations brings to our business, our investors and other stakeholders.
