In this report, priority has been given to issues that we consider to be of material significance to our sustainability performance. We have determined these material sustainability issues based on a range of internal and external considerations.
As our main guide for report preparation we have referred to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Reporting Guidelines. We have focused on the core indicators and covered off supplementary indicators where we have thought they were of significant relevance to our business.
We have also reported against indicators from the Mining and Mineral’s Industry Supplement as these indicators were developed by representatives from our industry and interested stakeholders.
Our sustainability policy outlines our most important sustainability issues and the position we have on those issues. We have reported against all the areas addressed by our policy. We also report in accordance with our Values and Code of Conduct.
Our materiality process is ‘fit for purpose’. OZ Minerals has one major operational site, Prominent Hill, and therefore most of our consultation and feedback is gathered through meetings with interested stakeholders at this site or in the surrounding community. Our exploration division also maintains a direct dialogue with key sustainability related stakeholders. Managers from both these areas contributed to this report to ensure material issues of concern to these stakeholders are covered.
External feedback is also collected through a variety of other mechanisms. We conduct media monitoring and collect feedback from our Annual General Meetings. We have regular government and investor meetings and receive direct feedback from retail shareholders.
Internally, sustainability related issues are brought to the attention of the Sustainability Committee of the Board and detailed in Board papers. We have a sustainability incident tracking and management system. In compiling this report, surveys were distributed in an effort to collect supplementary sustainability related information that may be of interest to our stakeholders.
