“The risks for modern slavery in the mining and metals sector primarily relate to the labour conditions in artisanal and small-scale mining, particularly in areas of conflict.”

“While we recognise corporate offices are not immune to modern slavery risks (e.g., via touchpoints with higher-risk sectors, such as facilities management and IT services), they do not present the same kind or scale of potential risks as our operated assets.”

“We recognise three of the four countries in which we held non-operated joint venture (NOJV) interests during FY2022 (Peru, Brazil and Colombia) have a high level of risk of modern slavery within the mining and metals sectors according to the Verisk Maplecroft Modern Slavery Index 2022”
