Xstrata Copper aims to manage its businesses in a way that balances social, environmental and economic considerations. Although the lifespan of our activities is finite, we aim to invest in skills, education, health, social and enterprise development that lead to economic benefits and sustainable communities that outlive our operations in any particular region.

We strive to preserve the long-term health, function and viability of the natural environments affected by our operations and to maintain safe and healthy workplaces based on mutual respect, fairness and integrity.

Xstrata Copper takes a systematic approach to setting targets, monitoring performance and reporting (both internally and publicly) against our targets in each of the key sustainability areas.
