Safety

In line with our values, our first priority in the workplace is to protect the health and wellbeing of all of our people. We are committed to operating safely and believe all fatalities, occupational diseases and injuries at work are preventable.

Our SafeWork framework is risk-based, focusing on eliminating fatalities and serious injuries by identifying the hazards that can result in fatal incidents and developing life-saving behaviours and protocols to target them.
SafeWork aims to provide everyone within our business with the knowledge and tools to perform every task safely; the key message is that every individual has the authority to stop unsafe work.

CLIMATE CHANGE

As one of the world’s largest diversified resource companies, we recognise climate change science as set out by the United Nations and are proud of the role we play in supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Through responsibly sourcing the commodities that advance everyday life, we supply raw materials that provide affordable energy and are essential to societal transformations such as the growing demand for electric vehicles.
We responsibly manage, monitor and report our direct and indirect emissions.

HUMAN RIGHTS

We are committed to respecting human rights in line with the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We uphold the dignity, fundamental freedoms and human rights of our people, communities and others potentially affected by our activities.

  • Avoid causing, or contributing to adverse human rights impacts;
  • Prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts linked to our operations, products or services through our business relationships; and
  • Make a positive contribution to the advancement of human rights of all people, including vulnerable groups. In the event that we cause or contribute to an adverse impact on human rights, we provide for, or cooperate in, processes to enable appropriate remedy.

TAILINGS

Our mining process generates tailings (residues of mineral processing), which are stored in purpose-built tailings storage facilities (TSFs). TSFs are specially designed reservoirs filled with tailings and water. We remove water through drains or evaporation while the tailings settle, gradually filling the reservoir. At this point, we cap, seal and rehabilitate the TSF. 

  • Our approach
  • Monitoring and assurance
  • Global industry standard on tailings management
  • Tailings Manager Academy (TMA)
  • Engaging with communities
  • Decommissioning and closed assets

ETHICS & COMPLIANCE

We are committed to maintaining a culture of ethics and compliance throughout Sierramin Bauxite - not simply performing the minimum required by laws and regulations.

We do not knowingly assist any third party in breaking the law, or participate in any criminal, fraudulent or corrupt practice in any country. 

Employment & Training

Our activities can make a valued contribution to social progress and national, regional and local economies through the production and marketing of commodities that provide the basic building blocks for development. We provide employment and training, business partner opportunities, tax and royalty payments to governments that help provide essential services, socioeconomic development and environmental stewardship.
