Our People
Overview
At MMG, our people are the foundation of our success. We are committed to creating a workplace that is safe, inclusive, and empowering—where every individual can thrive and contribute meaningfully to shared goals.
Our commitment
Our global People Policy and supporting standards ensure consistency across all operations while meeting local requirements. These policies cover recruitment, working conditions, compensation, and career progression, and align with international frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and ILO conventions. MMG comply with all national legislation in the countries where we operate.
Through robust selection processes, MMG attract and retain talented individuals and reward them competitively. We share success with host communities by prioritising local employment and investing in training and education to help residents build careers in mining and related fields.
Diversity, inclusion and respect
MMG strive to provide workplaces free from discrimination and harassment, fostering a culture of respect and belonging. A global Diversity and Inclusion approach is led by the Executive Committee and supported by site-based initiatives such as DEI Committees, employee networks, multicultural onboarding, and flexible work arrangements. Annual training for leaders reinforces these principles.
By embracing diversity, MMG strengthen collaboration, innovation, and an ability to attract and retain talent.

Grievance mechanisms and ethical conduct
The MMG Code of Conduct sets clear expectations for ethical behaviour, covering areas such as anti-corruption, fraud, and legal compliance. All sites facilitate confidential grievance channels supported by whistleblower protections and non-retaliation policies. These mechanisms are accessible to employees, contractors, and community members, and monitored for transparency and resolution.
Local employment and Indigenous engagement
MMG aim to create lasting benefits for the communities within which we operate. Local employment is a cornerstone of socioeconomic development and community resilience. MMG partner with local stakeholders to co-design training programs, integrate Indigenous enterprises into supply chains, and align with international principles such as the ICMM Indigenous Peoples Position Statement and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.
