Policy and approach
The wellbeing of the people who work at Xstrata's operations, projects and offices and their ability to perform to the best of their ability is fundamental to the successful delivery of our strategy.
We aim to operate a safe and healthy workplace, based on mutual respect, fairness and integrity. Our most important objective is to operate with no fatalities or injuries and we believe that every work-related illness and injury is preventable. We support initiatives to address major community health issues and enhance the wellbeing of employees. We value diversity in the workplace, we uphold the rights of our employees to freedom of association and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination.
We provide industry-leading career development opportunities, wellstructured employment contracts and fair and competitive remuneration. The majority of our workforce is engaged on collective employment agreements negotiated with unions and other representative organisations.
