For more than 150 years, we have been entrusted with accessing the world’s essential materials and making them available for society’s use. These resources are finite and, as temporary custodians of the land where we operate, we have a responsibility to extract value from the minerals and materials we produce in the safest and most sustainable way possible. This includes providing people and communities with economic opportunities; safeguarding and promoting the health, wellbeing and human rights of people and communities; combating climate change; and being excellent stewards of the natural resources entrusted to us.

Peter, Chief Financial Officer

Peter Cunningham

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

We are continuing to find better ways to provide the materials the world needs. It is important to us that we fulfil this, our purpose, responsibly and transparently, while contributing meaningfully to the countries and communities in which we operate, live and work."

Social investment

We want to leave a lasting, positive legacy everywhere we work. The taxes we pay to governments is one way in which we do this, as they play a critical role in the economic health and development of the regions where we operate. Catalysing economic opportunities for our host communities and regions is also a priority for us, and through our voluntary social investment, we strive to support initiatives that we believe can have a positive impact in the communities where we operate.

Australia

Almost half our global workforce - 24,000 employees - lives and works in Australia.

In total, over the past ten years we have paid $59.7 billion (A$81.7 billion) in taxes and royalties in Australia, representing 78.6% of the $76.0 billion we have paid globally.

With the steady 2023 advancement of our Rincon lithium project - a large, undeveloped lithium-brine project in Argentina - we have reaffirmed our future priorities in the region.
