We are one of the world's largest producers and exporters of seaborne traded thermal and coking coal.
Coal is an important part of our global commodity portfolio and we are focused on running a profitable business in a safe, efficient, responsible and sustainable manner.
Our coal is used in power generation, steel making and industrial processes including the manufacturing of cement, aluminium and nickel.
About 85% of the coal we produce is exported, the majority of it to countries where coal continues to play a leading role in power generation given its reliability and affordability. The remainder of the coal we produce is used in domestic power generation in Australia and South Africa.
We complement our own production with agency third party and traded volumes to help ensure our customers get the quantities and qualities of coal they require in a secure, reliable and timely manner.
