Strategic report | Our approach to ESG

Environment We know our operations, throughout their life cycle and associated value chains, can impact nature and surrounding environments both directly and indirectly. We also depend on healthy, functioning ecosystems to provide the resources we need for our operations and supply chains. We focus on being responsible stewards of these shared natural resources, ensuring we protect the health, safety and livelihoods of local communities, Indigenous Peoples, our suppliers and our customers. This includes managing risks to minimise adverse environmental impacts from our operations and playing our part to sustain these shared ecosystems and natural resources for future generations. While mining activities use less than 0.1% 1 of the world’s land, they are often in ecologically and culturally sensitive areas. That is why – in addition to our Environmental Performance Standards, which apply to all of our business units and managed operations from exploration through to post-closure – we have shared our support for the ICMM’s Nature Position Statement, and actively engage in several partnerships that address both our own and broader regional challenges in the areas where we operate.

We are committed to playing our part in contributing to nature-positive outcomes for industry and society. In January 2024, we shared our support for the ICMM
