We deliver on our promises

We are committed to operating safely, sustainably and responsibly. We make no compromise in measuring and reporting our performance.

We have adopted the Global Reporting Initiative’s G4 guidelines as the basis for our sustainable development reporting.

We measure our performance

We set targets for ourselves based on six pillars of value: safety and health; financial sustainability; mineral policy and legislative compliance; labour relations and our performance; community development; and access to and allocation of natural resources.
