SOCIAL

We believe we must use our position to improve lives and drive progress. With oversight from our Board of Directors, we engage with our external stakeholders and workforce to ensure we are both proud of our results and how they are achieved.

Our commitment to social responsibility ensures our business practices support the safety, sustainability and quality of life for our stakeholders, including our team and the communities where we operate.

We drive social progress by protecting and valuing our workforce, strengthening the communities we call home and respecting the rights of all. Not only are these the right things to do, but they drive better business outcomes. Our aim is to work in partnership to build a sustainable future together. We are focused on making tomorrow better than today.

We want every person who steps foot on our site to leave in the same condition they arrived. We take a “safe work always” approach that is rooted in the belief that all injuries and incidents are preventable.

Our foundational values of safety, sustainability, trust and respect guide our approach and define what we expect of ourselves and our strategic partnerships.
