Xstrata joined the UN Global Compact in 2006 and supports its ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. The UN Global Compact asks companies to report annually on their progress against these principles.  The index below links the information in our most recent Sustainability Report to each of the Global Compact's principles in order to assess our actions and performance during the year. The index also cross-refers to the corresponding Global Reporting Index (GRI) indicators we report on, based on the GRI G3 guidelines.

A full GRI navigator is available here.
