Programmes
Three long-running partnerships
Each programme is run jointly with a local authority or community committee, with published minutes and audited spending.
Training centre, Cerro del Viento
A training centre in the nearest town certifies plant operators, electricians and heavy-vehicle drivers. Around 240 people complete a course each year, and roughly one in three graduates has moved into a role at the operation or a contractor.
Local procurement, Wilga Creek
A register of regional businesses is used for catering, earthworks, transport and maintenance support. Local procurement reached 48% of addressable spend in 2025, and the operation publishes its payment times.
Grievances
Raising a concern
Anyone affected by our operations can raise a concern, free of charge and without fear of retaliation. The process is the same at every site.
