Our sustainability efforts are and built to last.

BCI’s Sustainability Framework provides the structure to guide our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. It’s centred on four pillars that reflect the priorities of our business and our stakeholders: People, Environment, Prosperity and Governance.

People

We are committed to building a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace, and to supporting the communities in which we operate. This means going beyond compliance to ensure we actively contribute to social wellbeing and shared prosperity.

Our focus areas:

A relentless focus on physical and psychological wellbeing across all roles and sites.
Working respectfully and transparently with Traditional Owners, and recognising the deep cultural significance of Country
Building strong, open relationships with local communities and delivering real economic and social benefits.
Creating a workforce that reflects the communities we’re part of, and providing fair access to opportunities.

Environment

Our operation relies on a unique coastal ecosystem and we are committed to minimising our impact and building environmental resilience. We take a precautionary approach to land use and water management, and are investing in long-term monitoring and protection initiatives.

Our focus areas:

Minimising our footprint and protecting vulnerable species and habitats.
Managing water use responsibly and reducing waste through circular design and operational efficiency.
Preparing our operation for a changing climate, including sea level rise and extreme weather risks.

Prosperity

Creating long-term value, shared locally and regionally

We are building a multi-decade operation that will contribute billions to Australia’s economy. We aim to maximise this benefit by prioritising local procurement, local employment, and partnerships that grow regional capability and resilience.

In 2024 alone, BCI spent $26 million with local suppliers and $11 million with Indigenous businesses; a foundation we will continue to build on.

Our focus areas:

Ensuring our investment delivers value through jobs, supply chain opportunities, social investment and regional development]

Governance

Trust is built through consistent, two way meaningful engagement and ethical behaviour. Our governance pillar ensures we operate transparently, make evidence-based decisions, and meet our obligations to regulators, investors, partners and the community.

Our governance systems are designed to align with best practice ESG standards and adapt as regulatory expectations evolve.

Our focus areas:

Embedding strong governance systems, reporting with integrity, and maintaining open communication with stakeholders.
