We will carry out our business such that people are not harmed, the environment is protected and social commitments are met.

To achieve this we will:

Comply with relevant prevailing laws and regulations and with relevant industry standards.

Take account of the safety, health and security risks inherent in our business and manage these responsibly and systematically to minimise risk to our workers, the public and our shareholders.

Minimise the impact on the environment, reduce emissions and waste, and use energy efficiently.

Select those contractors that commit to our values.

Take account of this policy in Joint Venture partnerships and positively use our influence in this regard.

Uphold the highest ethical standards in maximising shareholder value whilst striving to improve the quality of life of our workforce and host communities.

Carry out regular audits to provide feedback and assurance that our operations are being carried out in accordance with our EHSS Policy.

Respect host communities and their traditional rights and value their cultural heritage.

Assign responsibility to all individuals working for us to challenge or stop any activity that conflicts with this policy.
