Ethical value chains

We conduct business fairly, ethically and sustainably with partners that meet applicable laws, adhere to international standards, and demonstrate strong governance, due diligence and traceability.

Guided by recognised frameworks and independent assurance, this approach builds trust, strengthens accountability and ensures our value chains support long-term sustainability.

For us, ethical value chains are not a single standard or certification, but rather a reflection of how we manage our environmental, social and governance risks across our operations and supply base.

This work is anchored in two core focus areas — responsible mining and responsible sourcing — which are supported by our governance, transparency and assurance processes. This approach ensures ethical performance is consistently delivered and credibly evidenced across our value chain.

As customer, investor and supply chain expectations evolve towards low-carbon and ethically produced materials, we consistently ensure that our practices meet these standards. This safeguards our access to customers whose procurement decisions increasingly depend on transparent and ethical production.
