Sustainability is integral to the achievement of our purpose. We believe non-financial performance is connected to long-term value creation and can only be realised when sustainability is firmly embedded throughout our business.
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.
Communities
Our People
Water
Climate Change
Biodiversity
Business Integrity
Our new ESG Goals include:
A commitment to an interim company-wide renewable energy electricity target of 50% by 2030.
In FY2023, we committed to an additional interim target to reduce carbon emissions by 35 per cent by 2035 from our 2024 baseline year.
Company-wide net zero 2050 target covering Scope 1 and 2 emissions for all sites under operational control.
