Our aim is to lead our industry in our contribution to Sustainable Development. To achieve this Xstrata Coal has developed a Sustainable Development Strategy in line with the Xstrata plc Business Principles, Sustainable Development Framework and Sustainable Development Policy (available at www.xstrata.com) and Xstrata Coal’s Values.

This strategy is used to drive Sustainable Development performance and is achieved by implementing management systems across our business. These systems are in accordance with the Xstrata Sustainability Management Standards and reviewed annually by the Xstrata Coal Board SD Committee, taking into account relevant legal, financial, operational and business requirements, risks, views of stakeholders, cultural and other requirements.

The Xstrata Plc Sustainable Development framework is also mapped to international standards including the ICMM and UN Global Compact principles, Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, ISO14001 and OHAS 18001. We work from a common set of values, vision and goals, developed by the Executive Committee and rolled out across each Division and its operations.
