Sustainability

We are committed to conducting our operations safely, protecting the natural environment and actively participating in the energy transition

Our strategic focus on developing homegrown energy resources sits in tandem with our pursuit of doing so in a sustainable manner.  We are seeking to create long term value from the natural resources that are readily available to us, contributing to society’s energy needs and focusing on oil and gas development solutions that minimise our environmental footprint.

We take global climate challenges seriously and are committed to conducting our activities, whether directly or through our joint venture partners, in accordance with the highest environmental, social and governance standards.

Our approach to sustainability and maintaining our social licence to operator is guided by aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals most applicable to our business and operations.  Our main contributions are to the following goals.

The health and safety of our employees and contractors is central to the way in which we conduct business and is our number one priority. We work to ensure all our operations and activities are performed safely, using robust policies and systems with the aim of achieving zero harm in the workplace

We seek to maintain a high performing, productive and engaged organisation and adopt policies to ensuring non-discrimination and gender equality.

By producing the metals which play a key role in transmitting renewable power, and therefore contribute positively to the energy transition, we aim to play our part to global decarbonisation. Improving energy efficiency is a key focus of the Company.

We contribute to the economic growth of our countries of operation through the provision of employment opportunities and fair wages, the transparent payment of taxes and preferential local procurement. We are committed to upholding human rights in our workforce, as well as through our supply chains and to respect and abide by all applicable laws regarding modern slavery, child labour and human trafficking.

We recognise our responsibility, as a contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, to identify and implement programmes to minimise energy usage and increase use of renewable energy where possible, as well as to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change throughout the value chain.

We seek to minimise the impact to flora and fauna and conserve biodiversity in ecosystems where we operate, carrying out environmental impacts assessments and monitoring campaigns

We strive to ensure that all activities throughout the business are conducted to the highest standards in ethics, integrity and transparency
