Responsible environmental stewards
By applying the highest standards of environmental management, using natural resources and energy efficiently, recycling and reducing waste and working to protect biodiversity, we can deliver significant cost savings to our business, reduce future liabilities and help build strong stakeholder relationships.
That means our approach to environmental management also considers the impacts on the community and we:
- Regard access to clean water as a fundamental human right and strive to manage local waterbodies to have minimal negative impact on nearby communities and other users in our local watersheds. We also work to enhance and improve access to water for our communities.
- Build community resilience into our climate change work. The climate crisis requires us to set and meet ambitious reduction targets. For us, that is only part of the story. Equally important is ensuring the communities around our operations, particularly those most vulnerable, are not left behind in the battle against the effects of a changing climate.
- Understand that global prosperity and life is underpinned by healthy and functioning ecosystem services and work to not only achieve no net loss to biodiversity, but also actively participate in additional conservation actions to deliver positive biodiversity outcomes.
Working to proactively and holistically manage all aspects of sustainability is not only the right thing to do for our communities and wider society, it is also good for our business.
