The metals and minerals we provide are used in everyday life, and for the transition to low-carbon energy – iron ore for the steel in electricity infrastructure, copper for renewable technology, aluminium for lightweight cars, and lithium for batteries.
We continue to build the sustainability of our own mining and processing practices, while also helping our customers do the same.
