The FY23 ESG Databook presents our performance against key material sustainability commitments and targets.

Stakeholder engagement
Fortescue engages with a broad range of stakeholders who have an interest in our business and operations.

We are now extending the effective and meaningful stakeholder engagement established by Fortescue in Australia to our global minerals and energy activities.

We work to identify these risks and seek to ensure suitable controls are in place to mitigate them. We seek continuous improvement using industry metrics and benchmarking.
