Golders Dalby Sustainability Actions

Published ESG reports early

Bellevue Gold says it published sustainability reports before production started. It presents this as an early step to build ESG thinking into mine planning and construction from the start, when long-term impacts are often set. The company also says it uses materiality assessments, which are reviews of the topics that matter most to stakeholders, to guide reporting. It says its reporting follows frameworks such as TCFD, UN SDGs, GRI, and SASB, which are common ways to structure climate and sustainability disclosure.

Set up sustainability governance

Bellevue Gold says it created a Health, Safety and Sustainability Committee that reports to the board and is supported by a Chief Sustainability Office. It also says it has policies on climate change, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, human rights, sustainability, and the environment. This shows that the company has put formal oversight in place rather than treating ESG as a side issue.

Worked with Traditional Owners

Bellevue Gold says it has worked collaboratively with the Tjiwarl Aboriginal Corporation, the Traditional Owners of the land where it operates. It also says the mine was designed with consultation and biological surveys, and that it aims to respect Aboriginal heritage and ecologically important sites. This points to engagement with Indigenous stakeholders and land stewardship during project development.

Targeted net zero mine operations

Bellevue Gold says it is working toward net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2026 for the Bellevue Gold Project. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are the direct emissions from a company’s own operations and the energy it buys. The company says this will be supported by an off-grid power station using wind and solar power. It also says it may market the product as green gold, but that is a company claim rather than independent verification.

Cut store energy use

Myer says it has lowered energy use and related greenhouse gas emissions in stores and operations by more than 3.61%. It also says it is investing in energy efficiency, lower-carbon operations, and lower water use. The company points to a 5-star green design and a 5-star NABERS energy rating for its Docklands support office. NABERS is an Australian building rating system that measures energy and water performance.

Reduced packaging and waste

Myer says it is trying to reduce waste across its operations and supply chain, which means the full set of businesses that help make and move products. It says it has increased recycling diversion from 70% and cut plastic bag use by phasing out single-use shopping bags. It also says it has replaced 70% of soft home packaging with natural fibres, moved to recycled swing tags and care labels, and is working toward reusable, recyclable, or compostable private-brand packaging by 2025.

Checked supplier and product sourcing

Gold.com says it regularly checks suppliers’ environmental, social, and sustainability practices, including climate impact, working conditions, and anti-corruption policies. It also says some mint materials are sourced through LBMA and COMEX certified refineries. LBMA is the London Bullion Market Association, and COMEX is a major commodities exchange; both are used here as sourcing standards. The company also says its products are ISO 9001:2015 certified, which is a quality management standard, not a sustainability label.

Improved privacy and AML controls

Gold.com says it has policies and training in place for data privacy and anti-money laundering (AML, rules meant to stop illegal money flows). It says it follows laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and that it uses internal controls, employee training, and annual independent testing for AML. These are governance actions rather than environmental ones, but they still fall under ESG.
