Energy

Our approach

Xstrata’s Sustainable Development Policy sets out our commitment to continually improve the efficiency with which we use raw materials, energy and natural resources. Programmes are in place across Xstrata’s operations to reduce energy intensity (particularly at high-intensity metallurgical operations) and achieve cost savings.
