Mission and Values

Grow and manage a portfolio of businesses to deliver vital natural resources, industry-leading shareholder returns and sustainable value for our stakeholders. We are proud to pursue this aim, in partnership with our stakeholders, developing our people and assets to their fullest potential and making a lasting, positive contribution to society.

Our mission is simple. It defines our role in society. We deliver natural resources, that are at the heart of everyday life and are central to the development of society. We extract these products profitably to create value for our shareholders, efficiently wiith respect for the environment, and responsibly to leave communities with lasting benefits from our presence; such as infrastructure, improved local skills or thriving new businesses.

We can't do this alone. Our success depends on the strength of our partnerships with our stakeholders, from our people to our customers to local communities, governments and other mining companies. It is the way we do business. Every day we strive to perform better than yesterday, not just in financial terms – which are crucial – but also in the way we contribute to society, the environment and the communities in which we operate. Our five values reflect our culture and the way we do business. They appear deceptively simple. But they provide us with our competitive advantage and every day our people strive to live up to these ideals.
