We're a significant taxpayer in Australia, where the majority of our producing assets are located and 95% of our taxes are paid. 

Paying taxes due under law is one of the ways we support our social licence to operate. For the past three years, we’ve achieved a perfect score in the approach to tax category in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). The DJSI is a global sustainability benchmark that tracks the performance of leading companies across a range of criteria.
