Our commitments

Operating in a sustainable way is central to everything we do here at St Barbara. At St Barbara, doing the right thing genuinely matters to all of us.

As we strive towards our vision to be a brilliant, global mining company that grows sustainably and creates enduring, positive impacts, we are guided every day by our five business-wide commitments.

We are responsible for operating our mining assets to the very best of their potential, but we are also responsible for our people, our communities, and minimising the impact we have on the environment. To us, success is defined by striking the right balance between these things.

With these commitments to guide us and focus our efforts, we will create value for all stakeholders and leave a legacy that we are proud of.

Our strong, values-led culture drives our behaviour and guides our decision making every day as we deliver to promise on our commitments.

Our sustainability framework

The framework supports St Barbara’s purpose, vision and business strategy which collectively focus on value creation for our stakeholders.

Environmental, social and corporate governance are central to our framework. We measure and report on our environmental, social and economic performance, we govern our business via approved charters, policies and standards and our code of conduct ensure we do the right thing – always.

Sustainability reporting

St Barbara uses the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards to guide its sustainability disclosures. The content of the disclosures is based on St Barbara’s assessment of its material sustainability topic areas, by significant economic, environmental and social impacts, and those areas that substantively influence the assessments and decisions of its stakeholders.

Our 2021 Sustainability Report outlines our activities against each of our commitments.
