Arafura’s objective is to operate in a responsible manner which minimises our impact on the environment. We believe that caring for the environment and protecting our heritage is an integral part of our business and we will ensure that we will manage our environmental performance with the same rigor as the financial and production aspects of our business.

We will as an organisation and individuals do the following:

• Integrate the principals of sustainable development into our business approach.
• Comply with all legislative requirements for the environment
• Work closely with the community and governing bodies to ensure that the best approach is always taken to environmental care
• Encourage our employees to value the heritage in the environment in which we work
• Effectively manage the use of natural resources to maximise their conservation
• Reduce waste, recycle and take stewardship of our by -products and consumables.
• Maintain an open consultation process with regulators, the community and shareholders
• Manage and minimise workplace exposure to hazards, ecosystem disturbance or degradation
• Ensure good closure and reclamation planning is done to re-establish disturbed areas as sustainable ecosystems and community assets
• Facilitate the education of employees and contractors in relation to their roles and responsibilities to environmental management and ensure good environmental management systems are in place to support this
• Ensure we use energy efficiently and look for opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
