We believe that when people are empowered and accountable they can achieve their full potential. We seek to enhance our reputation as an employer of choice renowned for its inclusive culture, and strong commitment to individual development and growth.
Sandfire employees have access to a comprehensive range of benefits including professional development opportunities that adapt to evolving market trends.
Inclusion and diversity
We foster an inclusive culture that values diversity, by embracing our unique geographic footprint, celebrating our cultural differences, and encouraging everyone to be a leader with joint responsibility for the felt experiences of their peers.
At each of our Assets, an Inclusion and Diversity Committee (IDC) is led by a business leader and is accountable for driving key initiatives for that location.
Some of the initiatives underway include ensuring LGBTIQ+ members feel safe at work in Spain, a Gender Based Violence (GBV) policy as part of the induction in Botswana, and an increase to paid parental leave to 18 weeks in Australia.
Health, Safety and Wellbeing
We have an unwavering commitment to the health, safety, and wellbeing of our people as we strive to create a positive, safe workplace culture and manage our activities and operations responsibly.
Central to this commitment is our ‘Don’t Walk Past’ philosophy, which emphasises that the standards we overlook are the standards we accept.
By fostering this mindset, our people are empowered to speak up and stop work if they don’t believe it is safe, identify hazards, raise concerns and take appropriate measures to rectify issues.
This philosophy also applies if someone feels discriminated against, bullied, harassed, or witnesses behaviour that contradicts our values or Code of Conduct.
