Responsible business. Sustainable performance.
At INCO, our commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles is embedded in the way we lead, operate and create value. We believe that responsible growth requires more than achieving business objectives — it requires us to protect our people, respect the environment, operate with integrity and continuously improve our performance.
Where ESG becomes operational.
Our HSE Management System forms a fundamental part of this commitment, providing the operational foundation for protecting people, managing environmental impacts and strengthening responsible business practices.
Our responsibility
We strive to minimise the environmental footprint of our operations through responsible resource utilisation, waste management, pollution prevention, energy and water efficiency, environmental protection and continual improvement of environmental performance. Our approach focuses on:
- Responsible waste management and minimisation
- Pollution prevention and environmental protection
- Efficient use of energy, water and natural resources
- Identification and management of environmental risks and impacts
- Emergency preparedness and response to environmental events
- Continual improvement of environmental performance
We strive to ensure that environmental responsibility is considered throughout the lifecycle of our activities.
HSE at the core
Our people are at the heart of our business. Our social commitment extends from occupational health and safety to:
- Employee wellbeing and welfare
- Competency development
- Engagement
- Fair and respectful working practices
- Human rights
- Responsible relationships with our stakeholders and communities
Our approach focuses on creating a safe, respectful and inclusive environment where people can grow and contribute.
Leading with integrity
Responsible business requires strong governance. Our management systems establish clear roles, responsibilities, accountability and performance expectations across the organisation. We promote transparency, accountability, ethical conduct and responsible decision-making through:
- Defined policies
- Risk management processes
- Assurance activities
- Audits and inspections
- Compliance monitoring
- Management reviews
- Continual improvement
Our governance approach ensures that HSE and ESG commitments are translated into measurable actions and sustained performance.
How the safety culture is built.
Preventing harm before work begins, evaluating performance continuously, and engaging the workforce in the result.
Proactive risk management
We focus on preventing harm before work begins. A structured approach to identifying and controlling risks runs through:
- Project-specific HSE plans
- Risk assessments
- Method statements
- Job Safety Analyses (JSAs)
- Emergency preparedness
- Welfare management
- Waste management
- Risk registers
Our objective is to anticipate risks, strengthen controls and prevent incidents rather than simply respond to them.
Safety assurance & learning
Our HSE performance is continuously evaluated through:
- Inspections
- Audits
- Management reviews
- Emergency drills
- Performance monitoring
- Action tracking
Incidents, near misses, observations and lessons learned are systematically reviewed and converted into corrective and preventive actions. This enables us to continually strengthen our systems and improve performance.
Safety promotion & workforce engagement
We believe a strong safety culture is created through participation and positive reinforcement. Employees are encouraged to take personal ownership of HSE through:
- Toolbox talks
- HSE training
- Awareness programmes
- Task-specific campaigns
- Welfare engagement
- Safety moments
- Recognition initiatives
Through Behaviour-Based Safety, we recognise and reinforce positive behaviours that contribute to safe and reliable operations.
ESG is not a standalone initiative.
At INCO, ESG is embedded in how we lead, how we manage risk, how we protect our people and environment, and how we conduct our business.
Our HSE culture strengthens the Social and Environmental dimensions of our ESG commitment, while strong leadership, assurance and accountability reinforce our Governance.
