Sustainability

We deliver our purpose by remaining focused on the four pillars of our intentionally simple strategy and our unwavering commitment to sustainability such that it permeates everything we do. 

Non-financial performance is connected to long-term value creation and we believe this can only be realised when sustainability is firmly embedded throughout our business. To achieve this we consider environmental, social and economic impacts, risks and opportunities as we work to achieve our strategic outcomes.

Evolving with purpose

Our approach to sustainability has evolved to align with the transformation of our business and growing stakeholder expectations, and this year we commenced a review of our Sustainability Pillars. In FY26, we will refresh our framework with updated performance metrics to deliver long-term value, strengthen resilience and contribute positively to people and the environment.

Sustainability Framework

Our Sustainability Framework is built on a foundation of six pillars that inform our business strategy and guide us as we work to contribute to the achievement of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each pillar has goals and milestones that focus our efforts.

Our Sustainability goals include:

Source 50% of electricity from renewables.

Deliver a 35% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from our 2024 baseline, which includes Motheo.

Our people

We believe that an inclusive culture that values diversity delivers better business outcomes, enables our people to achieve their full potential, and creates sustainable outcomes for the benefit of communities in which we work.

Communities

Our purpose guides how we engage with the communities in which we operate. We aim to deliver a long-lasting, positive contribution, recognising that social performance is essential to our social licence to operate.

Water

Our approach to water stewardship reflects our commitment to responsible water management throughout the mining lifecycle, addressing the needs of other water users and for the environment to be protected.

Climate change

Climate change is a global challenge and the management of climate-related risks and opportunities remains a priority for Sandfire.

Biodiversity

We seek to have a positive impact by minimising adverse environmental impacts and delivering positive environmental outcomes.

Business integrity

We are committed to ethical business conduct in all our interactions and we have established policies, standards and procedures that actively promote ethical and responsible behaviours and decision making.

We reflect on our commitment to create an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive
