Responsible Ownership
Commercial value and responsible development belong together.
We view environmental, social and governance considerations as part of sound investment practice. In resource, energy and infrastructure sectors, long-term value depends not only on commercial performance but also on responsible development, credible governance and constructive relationships with the communities and institutions connected to an investment.
These considerations are integrated into how we assess opportunities, structure investments and engage with partners. They are not treated as a separate marketing claim, but as part of disciplined ownership and investment decision-making.
01
Environment
Environmental considerations are assessed in proportion to the nature and stage of each opportunity.
02
People & Communities
Community engagement should be proportionate, transparent and appropriate to the local context.
03
Governance
Clear ownership structures, documented decision-making, appropriate controls and defined accountability support responsible investment.
04
Impact
Where material objectives or outcomes are relevant, they should be linked to defined investments, measurable activities and credible reporting.
Environment
Assessment proportionate to the opportunity.
This may include land use, water, emissions, biodiversity, waste, rehabilitation obligations, climate exposure and the environmental requirements of applicable permits and technical standards. Where specialist assessment is required, the relevant work is expected to be undertaken by qualified technical and environmental professionals.

People & Communities
Local economic relevance is part of long-term development.
Where investments move into development and operation, we seek structures that can contribute to local employment, skills development, supplier participation and durable economic activity. Responsibilities remain clearly assigned to the relevant project or operating entity.
Skills
Skills development and knowledge transfer are considered where they are relevant to the nature of an investment.
Supplier Participation
Local supplier participation may be considered within the responsibilities of the relevant operating structure.
Constructive Engagement
Engagement is intended to be transparent, proportionate and appropriate to the local context.
Governance
Responsible investment begins with governance.
We emphasise clear ownership structures, documented decision-making, appropriate controls, legal and regulatory compliance, confidentiality, anti-corruption principles and defined accountability between the Holding, relevant project entities and external partners.
Clear Ownership
Investment structures should provide clarity on ownership, responsibilities and relevant decision rights.
Documented Decisions
Decision-making and investment structuring should be supported by reliable information and appropriate records.
Compliance
Legal, regulatory and anti-corruption principles are relevant to responsible ownership and institutional credibility.
Accountability
Responsibilities between the Holding, relevant entities and external partners should remain defined and visible.
Impact
Evidence before broad claims.
We do not treat impact as a marketing claim. Where material impact objectives or outcomes are relevant, they should be linked to defined investments, measurable activities and credible reporting.
