银河网站 strives to work with suppliers 和 business partners who share our core values 和 demonstrate a commitment to business ethics, 健康, safety 和 the environment, 和 human rights.
We rely on an international network of suppliers to provide the products, materials 和 goods needed to support our operations. These include mining equipment 和 spare parts, 轮胎, fuel 和 lubricants, 炸药, electricity, operating materials 和 consumables, 和 chemicals for processing.
All suppliers are required to follow our Expectations for Suppliers 和 Contractors, which builds on our Code of Ethics,我们的 Anti-Bribery 和 Corruption Compliance Policy 和 Interpretation Guide,我们的 Code of Sustainable Conduct,我们的 Indigenous Peoples Policy 和我们的 Human Rights Policy.
The qualification of all suppliers involves examining whether a supplier meets or exceeds our minimum st和ards as a condition to supplying products 和 services to 银河网站. This screens out the suppliers who are unable or unwilling to meet our requirements as outlined in our Expectations for Suppliers 和 Contractors.
Where possible, we work to maximize the positive impacts of mining, including local 和 Indigenous procurement. In 2023, 53 per cent of procurement spend was with local suppliers, 和 approximately $388 million was spent with suppliers who self-identified as Indigenous.
