Our contribution to the SDGs

Our 2030 sustainability goals and targets support the SDGs.

As a leading supplier to the mining and cement industries, we can contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by helping our customers in these two environmentally intensive industries reduce their environmental footprints.

The zero-emissions mining process

Commercially competitive with a minimised environmental footprint.

Mining goals

Zero emissions

12.4 By 2030, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment.

13.2 Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.

MissionZero-related SDG

We have built our MissionZero programme on specific SDGs in which we have significant value chain impacts:

  • SDG 6: clean water and sanitation
  • SDG 7: affordable and clean energy
  • SDG 12: responsible consumption and production
  • SDG 13: climate action

Faster development and adoption of more sustainable solutions in mining and cement is urgently needed as both sectors play a crucial role in the transition towards a low-carbon society. Many solutions are already available—but work is needed to ensure the right pathway for decarbonisation. Our MissionZero programme aims to deliver these solutions in partnership with our customers and other key stakeholders.
