TRANSPARENCY

We believe that transparency comes in many forms – from being open about financial performance, to driving deeper stakeholder engagement, to improving monitoring and reporting within the organisation and across our supply chain.

OUR APPROACH

We take the view that transparency is indispensable in our corporate responsibility journey. There are increasing demands for greater disclosure of payments to governments by commodity trading firms as well as mining companies and upstream oil producers. Disclosure can assist in improving governance in resource-rich countries.

As a major facilitator of global trade, we also believe that natural resource wealth should be an important engine for economic growth that contributes to sustainable development and poverty reduction. Being open about how we manage natural resources gives the populations in countries where we operate the tools to hold governments and business to account.
