We are delighted that the Port Kembla Steelworks and associated sites in the Illawarra region of New South Wales have been granted ResponsibleSteelTM certification - the first steelmaker in Asia Pacific to be certified and the fourth globally.
As the Steelworks approaches its 100-year anniversary in 2028, we are looking towards its low-carbon, modern manufacturing future. In pursuit of this, we are investigating a range of initiatives to ensure that this important facility can deliver strong returns to the business, and the local community,
for the next 100 years.
We are proud to have become a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), recognising our commitment to human rights and good labour practices, to protecting the environment and to work against corruption. In joining the UNGC, we commit to make its ten principles part of our culture and the way we work every day. In addition, this
year we updated our Human Rights Policy to enshrine further protections for our people and those we work with.
