AURUKUN BAUXITE PROJECT
Sustainability
At Glencore, sustainability is integrated throughout our business, with a strong focus on operating safely and protecting the health of our employees, minimising our environmental impact and investing in our local communities.
Towards a positive future
Sustainable development is at the heart of our operations and involves:
- balancing social, environmental and economic considerations
- operating to leading standards of health, safety and environmental management
- contributing to the development of sustainable communities
- building and maintaining constructive, long standing relationships with our stakeholders, including our host communities
- continuously improving our performance by making sustainable development an integral part of our decision-making process.
We engage with, and listen to the Traditional Owners of Aurukun about their future aspirations.
