Sustainable Development Goals

We have aligned our approach to sustainability with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will continue to work with our host governments as they strive to meet these goals. We have prioritised eight of the 17 SDGs for which we can have the greatest impact under the umbrella goals of People, Planet and Process.

We work to identify these risks and seek to ensure suitable controls are in place to mitigate them. We seek continuous improvement using industry metrics and benchmarking.

We're leading the green industrial revolution

We’re developing the technologies to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors (like our iron ore operations) while building a global portfolio of renewable energy projects.

Green iron and green steel presents a huge opportunity for the iron ore industry and we are working hard to ensure we are at the forefront of technologies being developed in this regard.

By harnessing the world’s renewable energy resources to produce renewable electricity, green hydrogen, green ammonia and other green industrial products, we’ll help our planet step beyond fossil fuels.
