OUR
SUSTAINABILITY
FOCUS

People, Communities & Environment

Sustainability is at the heart of our business and while growth is important to us, growing sustainably is even more paramount. By building our own sustainable businesses we’re able to contribute in a positive way to our people, communities, and environment

Our People

Our People are the most important asset and remain a key priority in promoting productive work and growth across our platforms. We treat our diverse workforce of 7000 staff, fairly, with respect and ensure they have the opportunity to developer their careers to match their potential.

Our Communities

We believe that our operations have a positive impact on the communities in which we operate. Community engagement is woven into our business priorities and we build lasting relationships and contribute to activities and programmes designed to improve their quality of life.

Our Environment

Our people cannot exist without a healthy, thriving environment and we need to remain sensitive to the context in which we operate. Our businesses seek to minimize any negative impact on the environment and comply with the applicable laws, regulations and other environmental management requirements,
