South32

South32 is a globally diversified mining and metals company. The company produces bauxite, alumina, aluminium, energy and metallurgical coal, manganese, nickel, silver, lead and zinc. South32 has operations in Australia, Southern Africa and South America.

Transparency helps build community confidence about the value created from resource development. We support governments publicly disclosing contracts and licences for extractives activities as per the EITI Standard. Many of South32’s major contracts are already publicly available.
