- Health and safety

- Risk-based decision making
- Reporting, learning excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement
- Crisis and emergency management and corporate governance
- Accountabilities for Risk, Sustainability and strategic planning
Sustainability and Strategic Planning Standards
The Sustainability Performance Standards and Strategic Planning Standards support the Sustainability and Strategic Planning Policy in defining the minimum acceptable risk requirements to be met or exceeded in all areas of the business, including operations, exploration and Group activities, and business partners.

In FY23, the internal audit process for assessing compliance with these standards continued to be uplifted with a focus on a compliance and best practice framework. There is an ongoing review by each asset against these Standards which are triggered by internal or external incidents, regulatory changes and or audit and assurance activity. Detailed LOD2 reviews and LOD1 reviews by assets have been completed for nine of the standards in line with an approved audit schedule.
Note: LOD = Line of Defence. Refers to the levels of assurance wherein LOD1 involves the Internal Audit Program, LOD2 involves the
Management System & Standards Audit, and LOD3 involves external assurance.
