Sustainability

Our impact extends beyond our own operations and people to our customers, the environment and the communities where we work. Our stakeholders measure us on the value we create and the short and long-term outcomes we set in motion. That is why we are committed to operating a safe and responsible business, to make a positive contribution to society and reduce our environmental impacts. 

Our purpose is to sustainably mobilise the earth's resources

 

As one of the world’s leading mining and infrastructure solutions providers with global manufacturing capability, responsibly managing our impacts to society and supporting a fair transition to a net zero economy is fundamental to creating sustainable value for our stakeholders.

We care about protecting and investing in our people, our communities and the environment everywhere we operate around the world because we want to secure a safe and prosperous future for us all.

We recognise the responsibility we are entrusted with. We are also driven by the unique opportunity we have to harness our expertise and technology to deliver new and effective solutions, and to advance and champion for a safer and more sustainable industry. 

Our Sustainability Strategy guides our work, every day and everywhere. By drawing on Orica’s history of innovation and working with our partners, customers, suppliers and governments, we can have a significant impact.
