Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of our global business. We integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into our decision-making every day—contributing to lasting, sustainable change for our business and the regions where we operate.
Thiess is committed to harnessing the power of people and technology to drive sustainable change – we leverage the capabilities of our workforce across three continents, and prioritise technology and innovation to drive operational improvements for a sustainable future in the global mining services sector.
Our approach
Since being founded by the entrepreneurial Thiess brothers in 1934, Thiess has deftly adapted as changing markets and environments presented new challenges and opportunities. As a sustainable resources solutions provider, we are uniquely placed to contribute to a low-carbon future by working with our clients, suppliers, and the mining industry to help enable the global energy transition.
These three simple commitments guide our approach to sustainability:
Minimised environmental footprint
Enhanced social value
Transparent, trusted governance
