As a leading producer of lithium, we play a critical role in supplying materials that enable electrification, energy storage and low-carbon technologies, supporting broader economic and societal benefits. 

We recognise economic performance and growth as fundamental to delivering long-term value to stakeholders, investing in innovation and supporting resilient communities across the regions where we operate. Our operations generate both direct and indirect financial contributions, reinforcing our role as a catalyst for local and national economic growth.

Our approach

Our approach to economic growth is underpinned by disciplined capital allocation, operational efficiency and a diversified portfolio of assets and opportunities. 

We focus on maximising value from our existing operations while progressing strategic growth initiatives across our global portfolio and value chain. These initiatives support long-term demand for lithium driven by electrification, renewable energy and battery storage technologies.

We contribute to economic development through employment, local procurement and investment in the regions where we operate. We also invest in future-facing commodities and technologies that support the energy transition and global sustainability goals. 

We continue to enhance our alignment with best practice transparency and disclosure frameworks.

Governance
and performance

We oversee economic performance through governance frameworks that support strategic decision-making, risk management and capital allocation.

The Board and executive leadership regularly review performance, market conditions and growth opportunities to ensure alignment with long-term objectives and shareholder value.

We maintain financial discipline through structured planning, investment evaluation and ongoing performance monitoring.

Supporting the
energy transition

We create value by developing and operating high-quality lithium assets, supported by efficient production and continuous improvement initiatives.

We are progressing a portfolio of growth opportunities to support long-term value creation and resilience.

This includes expanding production capacity, developing new assets such as the Colina Project in Brazil, and diversifying downstream processing opportunities through projects such as the P-PLS chemical facility in joint venture with POSCO, and the Mid-stream Demonstration Plant.

Diversification across geographies and the value chain supports access to new markets, reduces risk and enhances long-term growth potential.

Economic contribution
and financial resilience

We contribute to long-term economic development through employment, community investment and the responsible payment of taxes and royalties.

By supporting local businesses and supply chains, we create opportunities for regional growth and capability development. Our products enable the global energy transition across electric vehicles, renewable energy storage and advanced technologies.

We maintain a strong financial position to support operations and growth across market cycles, managing costs, liquidity and flexibility to respond to changing conditions and invest in strategic opportunities that create long-term value.
