We aim to be a responsible neighbour and make a positive contribution to our communities in the Upper Hunter Valley in New South Wales and Darling Downs in Queensland.
We are open, transparent and engage respectfully, seeking to build enduring relationships based on mutual respect and long-term commitment.
We seek to sustain and increase the positive impacts of our operations, while monitoring and managing the at-times unavoidable amenity impacts, and address community concerns if they arise.
We contribute to and invest in a range of community initiatives, with a focus on skills, training and employability, health, environment and social development in our local communities.
We support local skills development and employment through our apprenticeship, work experience, and scholarship programs.
We provide reliable local employment, training and procurement opportunities. Around 90 per cent of our employees live in the areas around our mining operations, and we work with hundreds of local suppliers each year.
We also provide significant financial contributions to local, state and federal governments through taxes and royalties.
We respect and acknowledge the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the human rights principles it embodies, including the principle of free, prior and informed consent.
We have respectful relationships with local First Nations communities around our operations, and work to ensure they have the opportunity to benefit from our operations.
We’ve been a part of the Upper Hunter community in NSW since our Bengalla Mine began operations in the late 1990s.
