Sustainability Strategy
At QCoal, our vision is to be a leading independent Australian diversified mining company with sustainable operations and strong engagement with local and regional communities.
We believe in a holistic approach to conducting our operations in a way which creates shared value for all stakeholders while taking appropriate steps toward minimising our impact on the environment and proactively managing evolving social licence expectations.
In doing so, we seek to embed a range of key material sustainability topics into our strategic decision-making, operational planning and business culture. This requires active and ongoing engagement with our stakeholders including customers, suppliers, employees, local communities and government.
Strong governance and a commitment to safety and compliance underpins the effectiveness of our sustainability strategy. It ensures our commitments to environmental stewardship, community engagement and social responsibility are not only articulated, but also rigorously enforced and continuously improved.
The United Nations (‘UN’) Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDGs’) are a global action plan to address critical challenges facing humanity and the planet. Adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, these 17 interconnected goals are a call to action and provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity with an aim to balance economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
By addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice, the SDGs seek to build a more just, equitable and sustainable world for all people and the planet.
