Using water responsibly is integral to our values, environmental policy, and practices. Conserving and protecting water resources is essential for the communities where we operate and for our business. Using water responsibly is an important part of being a good partner in the communities where we work. We protect this critical natural resource through our risk-based management systems, processes, and standards.

biodiversity

We support biodiversity through our values, performance, communication, and engagement. We understand that humans and the natural environment interact with each other in various ways. Ecosystems perform many functions in supporting sustainable economic development. Through our Operational Excellence Management System, we work to identify and manage potential impacts our operations and activities may have on the natural environment and the ecosystem services relied upon by communities.

We are committed to continually improving our environmental performance and reducing the potential impacts of our operations through the implementation of our Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS).
