Global Reach

Orica’s strategic positioning within the mining sector allows us to maintain stability through continued global economic uncertainty.

People and Environment
 

At Orica, we care about our people and our environment. Meeting our environmental, social and community obligations is important to us, our customers and the community.

We are progressively cleaning up legacy issues that have resulted from past manufacturing practices. This is a task that takes time and a strong commitment. Orica continues to cooperate with regulatory authorities and the community to achieve the required results, such as the Botany Groundwater Treatment Plant.

At Orica, we believe that our responsible corporate practices will not only enhance our financial performance but the communities in which we work.
