Our Environmental Approach

Environmental responsibility is embedded in MLG’s integrated operating model. We operate within established regulatory and client environmental frameworks and are committed to meeting — and where practical, exceeding — the standards that apply to our activities.

Across crushing, screening, haulage and civil works, our focus remains on:

  • Minimising land disturbance
  • Managing dust and water responsibly
  • Maintaining an efficient, well-managed fleet
  • Supporting environmental compliance on client sites

Our vertically integrated model reduces double-handling, improves material movement and helps lower overall operational impact across the projects we support.

Operational Improvements That Reduce Environmental Impact

Fuel Efficiency & Lower Carbon Intensity

In FY25, MLG recorded improvements in fleet fuel efficiency. This was supported by enhanced data visibility, equipment performance monitoring and optimised fleet utilisation. Better fuel efficiency reduces both cost and carbon intensity across our operations.

Rehabilitation and Land Management

Our teams delivered rehabilitation works on client sites during FY25. These activities help restore land, manage disturbance and support clients’ long‑term closure and rehabilitation obligations.

Using Data to Improve Environmental Outcomes

We expanded the use of operational data to track carbon intensity and ensure better insight into our environmental performance. These insights support decision‑making and help identify opportunities for further reduction in environmental impact.

Climate‑Related Risks and Opportunities

As disclosed in our FY25 Sustainability Report, climate change is recognised as an emerging business risk.

Risks Identified

  • Physical risks: More frequent extreme weather events can disrupt off‑road haulage, crushing, civil works and general site operations.
  • Transition risks: Changes in regulation, fuel supply, client expectations and reporting requirements may impact operational planning.

Opportunities Identified

  • Improved efficiency through technology and data
  • Potential integration of renewable energy
  • Regional supplier engagement and capability development
Climate Related Risks & Opportunities

Integrating Climate Into Risk Management

MLG operates an Enterprise Risk Management Framework aligned with ISO 31000. In FY25, climate‑related risks began integration into our Group Risk Register and risk management system. This will continue in FY26 as climate reporting is formalised.

Our Climate & Environment Priorities for FY26 and Beyond

From FY26, we will continue to strengthen our climate and environmental governance through a structured and phased approach. Our priorities include:

  • Report our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
  • Progressing Scope 3 emissions assessment and reporting from FY27
  • Undertaking climate scenario analysis
  • Integrating climate-related risks into our enterprise risk management framework
  • Assess renewable energy opportunities and low-emission technologies

These priorities reflect our practical and measured approach — focused on transparency, capability building and long-term operational resilience.
