Our lean structure and entrepreneurial culture ensures that decisions are made close to the action by the experts who know best and understand the nuance of their situation, without being slowed down by bureaucracy.
Supporting communities
protecting places
We know we can only succeed when we care for the people and the places where we work. Our environmental programs seek to help maintain the biodiversity around our mines, support water safety, and manage waste responsibly.
Our community programs, designed in consultation with local leaders, help safeguard health, improve education at all levels and develop infrastructure. We employ locally, investing time and resources to help our community find a career at our operations.
Our business, and our way of working, are designed to get the maximum value from each project.
Materials that are vital to society
The copper we extract is ubiquitous in our daily lives. Not only do we use it to power our homes and to create phones and computers, but we need it if we’re to achieve our global green energy goals.
If we are to achieve the 2050 net zero goals set down by international organisations and governments, our industry needs to extract more copper before 2050 than it has produced in our entire history so far.
