We are committed to investing in people—both within our businesses and the communities we serve. Through Our World, Our Future, we have established clear strategies for corporate community support by improving social outcomes and prioritizing wellness in all aspects of work.
We remain committed to ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of our people, striving for zero harm to our employees, contractors, and the wider communities in which we operate. Our safety programme is designed to prevent incidents, accidents, and injuries while promoting a culture of safety.
Security is imperative. We have implemented comprehensive controls to protect our information, systems and assets. By continuously reviewing our security policies, we keep up with dynamic security requirements, focusing on compliance, risk management, enhanced security awareness and the implementation of innovative security systems.
Recognising the power of people as individuals and as a collective force, we are dedicated to creating a culture where everyone feels respected, supported and empowered to reach their full potential. By embracing inclusion and diversity in the workplace and beyond, we drive innovation and growth that helps us to connect with people, communities, businesses and societies.
We are building a diverse and inclusive culture based on respect for the rights of our people, our extended supply chain, and our global community. Guided by ethical business practices, our goal never wavers – we do the right thing and expect nothing less from our employees and the parties we work with, aligning our actions with our values.
Wherever in the world we operate, we integrate sustainability with investment to build resilient and thriving communities. Through our operations and partnerships, we support a variety of initiatives within communities – from conservation and education initiatives to the provision of water, healthcare and emergency relief. By applying a gender lens, we ensure our support reaches everyone in the community.
The continued success of our business depends on multiple factors, but everything starts with our people. We continually reassess the skills and abilities we need, equipping our people to power us ahead. Capability-building has therefore been central to our work in people development, as business transformation and career advancement go hand-in-hand. This contributes to our initiatives when it comes to supporting our people and communities.
Under ‘Our World, Our Future’, Women is a legacy pillar where we are committed to making lasting, positive impacts for women in our industry and women who are part of our communities. As outlined in our Gender Equality Statement and Women Strategy, we have a clear vision to make investments and partnerships that level the playing field for women.
