Relationships

We aim to develop long term, mutually beneficial robust relationships with all communities of interest.

Communities

Each of our operations is part of a local community, including Indigenous and non Indigenous people. We aim to develop robust relationships and make a long term sustainable contribution as a member of that community. This includes our near neighbours - those people who live close to our operations.

Customers

The majority of our customers are in Asia. We work with them to make sure we meet their product needs and environmental obligations.

Employees

We directly employ about 1,800 people in New South Wales and about 1,380 contractors. Our employees and contractors mostly live in towns neighbouring our operations.

Government

We regularly engage with a wide range of Government and opposition members, and officials at a State and Federal level. This engagement includes formal submissions, face to face meetings, briefings, hosted tours of our operations and formal correspondence. This engagement ensures our vision and plans are aligned with government, and allow us to find solutions to strategic challenges. We also interact with governments in their capacity as consent authorities for our activities.

Investors

Coal & Allied is a publicly listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange. Rio Tinto is the major shareholder of Coal & Allied owning 75.71 per cent of the issued shares. Rio Tinto Coal Australia manages Coal & Allied's operations in New South Wales.

Media

We keep the media up to date with recent announcements, developments and activities. A web based media centre contains media releases, reports and publications.

Partners

Our community development activities are often more successful when two or more other organisations bring different resources and skills together to deliver good outcomes.

Suppliers

We source a range of goods, materials and services to sustain our operations and procurement can make an important contribution to local economic development. Rio Tinto Procurement coordinates these activities for Coal & Allied.

Other organisations

We are represented on a variety of government and industry committees, taskforces and working parties. We also work closely with industry and research groups such as the Minerals Council of Australia, the New South Wales Minerals Council, the Australian Coal Association, and the Australian Coal Association Research Programme.
