Our Sustainability Report 2025 outlines how we deliver value to our customers, workforce, communities, suppliers, shareholders and other stakeholders.
FY25 was a transformational year for Whitehaven as we progressed our longstanding strategic goal of pivoting towards metallurgical coal while building a more resilient business.
We’re pleased to report we have continued to enhance our performance across our priority sustainability areas throughout this period of growth and change. We recognise that strong sustainability management and performance is important, and we are proud of the value we have delivered in a range of areas:
- We support our local communities – our direct financial benefits to regional communities are significant, with more than $2 billion contributed to North West New South Wales and Central Queensland through procurement, employee wages and salaries, and community partnerships and donations. We will also contribute $1.4 billion in taxes and royalties for FY25, supporting the broader economy.
- We operate responsibly – our investment in strengthening safety and environmental management systems continues to deliver welcome improvements.
- We are fostering an engaged and high-performing workforce – we believe in providing equal opportunities for everyone and we remain focused on supporting an inclusive and diverse workplace.
- We are playing a constructive role in the transition towards a lower-carbon economy – as a responsible operator, we are committed to balancing the critical role of coal with the need for emissions reduction efforts. We will continue to help our customers’ meet their decarbonisation goals while supporting global energy security and industrial development.
- We are progressing our operational emissions reduction measures and continue to set an overall Scope 1 emissions intensity reduction target aligned with our obligations under the reformed Safeguard Mechanism scheme
The fundamentals of our business are strong, enabling us to deliver on our mission to help the world progress. The coal we produce helps to power economic growth, build industries, support local communities and deliver value to our stakeholders.
