We recognise that the long-term success of our operations is intrinsically linked to the strength, inclusion and wellbeing of the communities and host countries in which we operate. Our goal is to create a legacy of shared value that extends beyond the life of our mines. Guided by our purpose of empowering people and advancing societies, we work in partnership with stakeholders to build trust, strengthen local and regional capacity, and contribute to sustainable social and economic development.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our social management approach seeks to enhance the environmental, social and economic wellbeing of host communities through strengthened social capital, inclusive economic participation and institutional capacity development. Implemented across the project life cycle, these efforts are designed to contribute to positive outcomes during operations and to support resilient, self-sustaining communities beyond the operational phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our social governance structures and processes are grounded in compliance with applicable host country laws and are informed by relevant international standards and best practice. We are committed to implementing community management programmes and activities that are governed through the Group\u2019s Social Performance Management Standard Framework, supported by site-level management procedures and aligned with globally recognised best practice standards from industry bodies, including, but not limited to, ICMM and WGC. We are committed to aligning our practices with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards, the UNGPs, and ICMM performance expectations and position statements, including the Indigenous Peoples Position Statement. We respect the principles of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) in our engagement with indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our Group-wide social management and performance programmes, we are committed to creating shared value, safeguarding human rights and protecting livelihoods, and building resilient communities through inclusive engagement, co-designed socio-economic development programmes, risk management and effective grievance mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, we continued to implement our 2024\u2014 2026 community relations strategy, with the majority of the strategy’s pillars and activities already in place, and the remainder scheduled to be fully implemented by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the advancement of our social performance commitments, we conduct structured, rotational assurance reviews of site-level performance against our Group standards. These assessments are led by our corporate functional specialists during a coordinated combined assurance cycle, ensuring consistency, independence, and technical rigor across operations. This governance framework strengthens risk oversight, enhances operational resilience, and supports continuous improvement across our sustainability performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
