Inclusion and diversity

An inclusive culture and diverse workforce allows for greater collaboration, innovation, and performance. Building and maintaining a workforce that represents the communities in which we operate, especially recruiting more women into operational roles, is an industrywide challenge that we are working to address.

Our Inclusion and Diversity Policy outlines our commitment to building an inclusive and diverse workforce and our internal inclusion and diversity standard defines expected inclusion and diversity practices across all aspects of people management. Our annual inclusion and diversity plan, which is approved by our CEO, outlines our priority focus areas. In FY24 these included:

1. Embedding the performance requirements of our internal inclusion and diversity standard;
2. Conducting sexual harassment risk assessments for our operations and offices;
3. Rolling out a discussion series on the important role bystanders can play in creating a safe and respectful work environment;
4. Supporting our inclusion and diversity networks, which are now in place at all our operations and offices; and
5. Developing a discussion series on workplace behaviours for roll-out to contractors in FY25.

We set and track performance against a series of inclusion and diversity measurable objectives aimed at improving inclusion and diversity in our workplace. Read more about these measures and our performance against them in our 2024 Sustainable Development Report.
