Guided by the Iluka Plan, Iluka’s approach to sustainability is aligned with recognised voluntary principles and frameworks; and contributes to the advancement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Iluka has a commitment to the integration of its approach to sustainability into everyday business practices and to the continuous improvement of the company’s sustainability performance.
Underpinning the company’s approach is Iluka’s commitment to transparency, behaving ethically and conducting business in accordance with high standards of corporate governance through comprehensive systems and processes.
Iluka’s goal is to be a safe, responsible and sustainable supplier of critical minerals.
To achieve this, Iluka’s sustainability strategy is structured around three pillars that align to Iluka’s approach to delivering on its purpose:
Trusted by our people and communities
To engage and build the capability of Iluka’s workforce and to continue embedding a consistent and open approach to relationships with the communities where Iluka operates.
Responsible for our environment
Cognisant of the impact of Iluka’s operations on the environment, to focus on maximising efficiency in how the company operates and to build on the reputation established by Iluka’s rehabilitation practices.
Operating in and providing products for a low carbon world
Recognising that the manner in which Iluka operates and evolves its business can reduce the company’s carbon footprint and that Iluka’s products, particularly rare earths through the potential development of a rare earths refinery at Eneabba in Western Australia, provide Iluka with an opportunity to support the transition to a low carbon economy.
Please note that from 2022 Iluka’s Sustainability Report has been integrated into the 2022 Annual Report, and is supported by a separate Sustainability Data Book.
