Sustainability

ARM's approach is founded on our values, which explicitly include the broader concepts of sustainability and our commitment to zero harm – to employees, host communities and the environment. ARM recognises that a responsible, sustainable approach to mining and beneficiation supports value creation and minimises negative impacts. Sustainability is therefore a core aspect of ARM's focus on operational efficiencies, commitment to world-class management and goal to be a partner of choice in the mining industry.

Governance of sustainability

Effectiveness is assessed through monitoring of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), internal and external audits, internal and external benchmarking, annual external certification audits, certification in terms of management standards (ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001, SANS 16001 and ISO 14001) and external assurance of sustainability data.

A detailed Sustainability performance year-on-year has been published in our 2018 integrated annual report.
