We minimise the impact of our activities through\na rigorous governance framework that applies\nconsistent standards to current operations, major\nexpansions, and new projects. Our Sustainability\nPolicy and associated standards mandate a\nsystematic approach to managing environmental\nrisks \u2014 including threats to natural resources \u2014\nwhile prioritising the proactive reduction of\nclosure liabilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We translate these high-level ambitions into action through site-level Environmental Management Systems (EMS) certified to ISO 14001: 2015. Central to our approach is the recognition that every mine operates in a unique setting; our systems are designed to adapt to diverse geological, climatic, and regulatory environments while maintaining strict compliance. Senior operational managers hold accountability for performance, supported by standardised software tools and our internal enterprise risk platform, AuRisk, which provides timely visibility of risk exposure from the site to the enterprise level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our focus on environmental performance begins at the design stage. Capital projects incorporate environmental requirements into the earliest development phases to ensure regulatory and internal compliance. To maintain the integrity of this framework, we conduct regular assurance via rotational audits and project stage-gate
reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our engagement with the CMSI Industry Advisory Group, we are positioned to evolve our internal standards in line with this emerging unified global standard, ensuring our environmental governance remains robust and current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We prioritise the avoidance, minimisation and mitigation of our environmental impacts. Our operations proactively manage risks to air, land, biodiversity and water resources across the full mining life cycle, ensuring responsible closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to compliance with host country regulatory obligations and maintaining certification of our environment management systems to the ISO 14001 environmental management standard and with the ICMC. We implement measures to conform with voluntary environment commitments outlined in ICMM\u2019s Position Statements, Performance Expectations and the World Gold Council\u2019s Mining Principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
