We recognise that superior environmental performance is critical to the achievement of our goal of being a world-class producer and securing our social license to operate. We will continually improve our performance through the implementation of an effective Environmental Management System and specifically:

• Prevent pollution of land, air and water by ensuring our facilities, procedures and culture are of a high standard.
• Empower our people to take personal responsibility to prevent environmental harm through the delivery of appropriate environmental training.
• Conduct research to better understand and manage our impacts.
• Conserve raw materials such as energy and water.
• Operate efficiently and avoid the creation of unnecessary waste.
• Progressively rehabilitate disturbed areas and accrue adequate funds for final closure.
• Deal openly and honestly with regulators and the community and respond quickly to community concerns.

We acknowledge that we are temporary custodians of this site and will return it to a safe and stable condition in accordance with the expectations of the regulatory authorities and the community and with all environmental, community and heritage values intact.
