Our sustainability reports provide a summary of our sustainability performance and material risks for the year.
Coronado launched its inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in July 2022. The RAP builds upon the existing relationship with the Gaangalu Nation People, who are the Traditional Owners at Curragh complex.
Our RAP working group includes leaders from across the business who play key roles implementing the RAP action plan. The most critical members of the group are our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employee volunteers who provide guidance on projects and initiatives developed by the working group.
Coronado Global Resources Inc. joined as members of Reconciliation Queensland in August 2022, which enables our business to connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and industry peers.
Based on international research and benchmarking, Reconciliation Australia defines and measures reconciliation through five critical dimensions: race relations; equality and equity; unity; institutional integrity; and historical acceptance. The State of Reconciliation in Australia Report outlines seven action areas that all Australians can play a role to advance.
Learn more about these action areas and how we are engaging our sphere of influence here.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan artwork is entitled Connection, 2022 by proud Ghungalu/Wadja woman, Roxanne Oakley. This artwork was commissioned by Coronado Global Resources as part of our inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The artwork is intended as a means of respectfully acknowledging the Traditional Owners’ connection to this land and to recognise their rich history and culture.
The key themes of the artwork are collaboration, respect and reconciliation. Collaboration is depicted by the many meeting places (four circles), and the symbolism of men (blue UI symbol) and women (pick UII symbol), from all backgrounds working together in an inclusive and respectful manner. Reconciliation is symbolised by the representation of past, present and future use of the Land and the continued connection that the Traditional Owners of this land, the Gaangalu Nation People, have through their culture, history and heritage.
The Blackdown Tableland frames the top of the artwork with trees shadowing a sunrise and sunset either side of the central yellow sun. The outer edge of the sun is framed with U symbols, representing the Land’s Traditional Owners, the Gaangalu Nation People. The artwork is divided through the middle by the Blackwater Creek diversion.
The footprints following the two blue winding lines of the Mackenzie and Dawson Rivers represent the Traditional Owners walking on Country. The two rivers start at each bottom corner with round watering holes used by the Traditional Owners, one for drinking and the other for bathing. Mining areas are represented by the four irregular shapes with black centres, signifying coal.
In accordance with the requirements of Australia’s Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, Coronado lodges annual public reports with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).
