Strong governance is not separate from how we work. It is how we work. It drives accountability, supports long-term performance and underpins the sustainable success of the Company. Governance is led by the Board and carried through every level of management.

Built on best practice. Guided by Values.

Fortescue’s governance framework is grounded in leading governance standards and shaped by our culture and Values. We support the intent of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th edition) and, unless otherwise disclosed, report against those requirements.

Committees with purpose.

The Board delegates key responsibilities to specialist Committees to strengthen oversight, support transparency, provide robust challenge and help drive effective delivery of the Company strategy.

Principles that guide every decision.

  • Transparency

    We are clear about our structure, operations and performance - internally and externally. We maintain open, genuine dialogue with stakeholders and the market.

  • Integrity

    We uphold a culture grounded in ethical behaviour, accountability and compliance with the law.

  • Empowerment

    At Fortescue, people are trusted to make decisions that support Company objectives and serve the best interests of stakeholders. We encourage innovation and strategic thinking, within our risk appetite and in line with corporate expectations and standards.

  • Corporate accountability

    We create clarity in decision-making. That means clear processes, the right decision-makers and accountability when those processes are not followed.

  • Stewardship

    We manage Fortescue for the benefit of shareholders, while recognising the interests of other stakeholders.
