Taxes and royaltiesIn 2019, Glencore paid almost $3.4 billion in taxes and royalties to Federal and State Governments in Australia.
When it comes to our tax and royalty contribution, it is important to note:
• Since 2008, Glencore’s Australian operations have paid more than $17 billion in taxes and royalties in Australia, of which $3.7 billion was corporate income tax.
• Corporate income tax is paid on taxable profi ts, not on revenue.
• Our business is highly cyclical and needs high levels of capital and sustaining investment over the long-term.
• Our profi tability in Australia is generally driven by the price of our core commodities: coal, copper, nickel and zinc.
• Mining royalties are generally calculated and paid as a percentage of revenue per unit (tonne, ounce) of product sold.
* Tax payable in relation to 2019 fi nancial year was paid during the 2019 and 2020 calendar years

Supporting our local communitiesEvery year Glencore supports our local communities via a combination of partnerships, sponsorships, funding and voluntary employee contributions. In addition to our role as a major employer, in 2019 we partnered with a number of community organisations across Australia to make a positive contribution in the areas of health, education, arts and culture, and the environment.
Glencore targets it support towards initiatives with broad-reaching and long-lasting benefi ts, such as a $150,000 expansion of the Flinders Medical Centre in Cloncurry, Queensland. Local residents are now enjoying greater access to essential health services. Renovations include additional consultation rooms, three new nursing bays, a dedicated assessment room, and education and staff rooms.
“ The upgrade provides a base for visiting chronic disease specialists, mental health and other health professionals to provide services locally more easily and more often.”

Better access to doctorsThe Mudgee 4 Doctors program focuses on attracting and retaining new doctors to New South Wales’ Mudgee region, home to Glencore’s Ulan Coal mines.
We teamed with local medical practices to address a chronic shortage of doctors to serve a community of 25,000 people. The program has attracted and retained 11 new doctors since it began in 2013, most of whom are now part of the community’s social fabric.
Mudgee 4 Doctors helped doctors and their families to relocate, supporting them to fi nd housing and childcare. We also
introduced them to professional, social and sporting networks and provided fi nancial and professional development support.
Importantly, we’ve slashed wait times for locals to access quality medical care.
We aim to replicate the successful Mudgee program in the central Queensland community of Clermont, where we operate a large open cut coal mine. We are working with community members and health professionals in order to bring in more expertise to boost existing medical services and address a vital community need.

Our COVID-19 response
34 Glencore 2020 Corporate Profi le Australia
Safeguarding our workers during the COVID-19 global pandemic Glencore has closely monitored developments relating to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic and our key priority is to protect the health and safety of all employees and contractors at each of our sites and offi ces, as well as the local communities in which we operate.
We have enacted our incident management plans in accordance with our company protocols. As part of this response, all our sites have developed risk-based plans to support the health and safety of workers. We are closely following the advice of Federal, State and Territory Governments and expert medical advisors and have remained in close contact with local council authorities in each jurisdiction in which we operate.
The Australian Government identifi ed mining as an essential activity and we are doing all in our power to continue running safe, responsible and sustainable operations across the country.
Engagement with our workforce
We have provided our workforce with a wide range of information about COVID-19 measures and protocols, including those related to personal hygiene, social distancing, travel and access to our Employee Assistance Program.
Health checks and screening
We have introduced temperature checks for our workforce, as well as self-declaration assessment forms.
We have also instructed every worker to stay at home if they feel unwell or have any symptoms associated with COVID-19. Under no circumstances are they to come to work.
Increased hygiene and cleaning
At every site and offi ce, we’ve provided appropriate hygiene and personal protective equipment (PPE).
We have also introduced stringent and frequent cleaning of all shared areas and equipment.
Social distancing in the workplace
We have implemented social distancing measures, including at pre- and post-shift briefi ngs, in assembly areas, at mess facilities and in all mine transport vehicles.
In specifi c situations where social distancing is more challenging, we’ve ensured appropriate PPE is used at all times.
Other measures that we’ve introduced have included staggered shift times, clear demarcation zones and increased frequency of buses to specifi c sites to enable social distancing.

We have also provided social distancing guidance relating to carpooling arrangements for employees travelling to and from work.
Travel restrictions
We have followed government and expert medical advice on all travel requirements. This has included asking our workforce to avoid all non-essential work and personal travel. We have also limited interaction between our workers and the local communities in or near which we operate.
Stakeholder engagement
Throughout the pandemic, we’ve engaged with governments and local councils to help ensure economic activity can continue while implementing measures to minimise the spread of COVID-19.
We have also worked with our suppliers and infrastructure providers to mitigate any risks associated with the supply of goods and services to our operations and with the transport of our resources to power stations and port export terminals.
Our donation will go towards the University of Queensland’s (UQ) vaccine development program.
The University of Queensland is using molecular clamp technology that aims to enable people’s immune systems to recognise and then neutralise the COVID-19 virus.
Glencore’s $725,000 contribution comes from our Global Community Support Fund set up to assist communities affected by the pandemic and we are hopeful it will make a meaningful contribution to UQ’s efforts to develop a vaccine.
Testing equipment fast-tracks results
We have also provided $45,000 for COVID-19 testing equipment at Mount Isa Hospital.
In collaboration with Queensland Health and the Laura Johnson Home, our contribution has funded a new GeneXpert IV-4 instrument, cartridge and nasal swab collection kit to enable local testing and dramatically reducing the timeframe for test results.

MRM works for the community during COVID-19Locally-based employees at our remote McArthur River Mine (MRM) zinc and lead operation in the Northern Territory have helped deliver community projects during the COVID-19 lockdown.
In March 2020, our MRM operation implemented strict measures to keep our fl y-in, fl y-out workforce separate from the local communities of Borroloola, King Ash Bay and Robinson River.
We ensured every charter fl ight between Darwin and our mine was limited to MRM workers only and also instructed our workforce not to leave site or visit any of the local communities. The only exception to this was for workers authorised to drive to the Bing Bong Loading Facility in the Gulf of Carpentaria, 120 kilometres to the north.
At the same time, we asked our 28 locally-based employees to stay at home on special paid leave.
These employees have used their time in the communities to good effect, using their skills to help with much needed projects.
One team member spent a fortnight helping build shower and toilet facilities at a local outstation to cater for people returning to Country.
Others have worked with the Aboriginal Corporation in their community or undertaken maintenance at their home outstations.

Glencore’s mine site rehabilitation at Westside and other
Australian sites is among the best in the industry
and a source of pride for our workforce
Rehabilitated land at our Westside Coal Mine near Newcastle, New South Wales
38 Glencore 2020 Corporate Profi le Australia
Glencore’s industry-leading mine rehabilitationGlencore’s coal business is committed to effectively returning mined land to self-sustaining native ecosystems, agricultural use or other suitable purposes that meet government requirements and community expectations.
Planning for rehabilitation at all our open cut coal operations starts as early in the mine life as possible – with our contemporary operations it takes place before fi rst coal is mined.
Rehabilitation is then incorporated into daily, annual and long-term mine plans to ensure work is adequately resourced, budgeted and delivered. Through this process, we progressively minimise the area of rehabilitation required at the end of mining.
Our rehabilitation is not just about quantity – it is also about quality.
We’re very proud that four of our operations – two in Queensland and two in New South Wales – have received State Government certifi cation for sections of rehabilitated mine land. In each case, the rehabilitation of these former mining areas met all rehabilitation and closure activities set out by State Government regulators.

Case study
Boosting career opportunities in regional AustraliaGlencore provides a range of career opportunities across our mining operations in regional Australia.
Our entry-level programs suit applicants from school leavers to university graduates, to those just looking for the next career break.
Graduate programs
Over 100 new graduates so far have joined Glencore in 2020. More are on the way following the recent extension of our 2021 program. “We’re looking for bright, curious and confi dent people across disciplines,” Glencore Australia Regional Human Resources Lead Jodie Hope said. “These range from engineering, environmental science, geology and geophysics to information systems and IT, accounting, community relations, human resources, and occupational health and safety.”
Apprentice programs
At the start of 2020, Glencore also had almost 450 fi rst-through-to-fourth-year apprentices across trades including electrical, mechanical, fabrication, plumbing, carpentry and diesel fi tting. With a focus on local talent from regional communities, our recruitment programs combine structured career development with on-the-job experience and mentoring from some of the best in the business. Newcomers to Glencore have every opportunity to succeed.
Feedback from our people
Mayah Cvetic, a graduate human resources business partner at George Fisher Mine, north-west Queensland, said getting her opportunity was a dream come true. “I moved to Mount Isa at age 12,” she said. “The Glencore Graduate Program is important for regional Australia as it provides opportunities to come back home after university, just like I did, to work in my chosen fi eld.”
Felice Quach started as a graduate process engineer and is now a Production Mining Supervisor at Liddell coal mine in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley. Refl ecting on his journey, Felice could not have imagined fi ve years ago the career leaps he has taken. “The start was hugely important for me,” he said. “The Glencore Graduate Program has allowed me to get many opportunities and climb the ladder.”
Fletcher Tomes started as a second year electrical maintenance apprentice at McArthur River Mine in the Northern Territory after the company he was working for closed down. Completing his apprenticeship with Glencore has opened up opportunities in the resources sector. “Being exposed to large industrial equipment and focusing on fault-fi nding has accelerated my learning. It’s great to work in a role that keeps you challenged,” Fletcher said.

Case study
Pathways program gains momentum across ‘Country’The Indigenous Employment Pathways Program initiated by our coal business last year in central Queensland will be expanded to new regions.
Glencore is rolling out the Pathways Program across Queensland and New South Wales following the success of the initial program, which led to eight Indigenous participants fi nding employment.
The Pathways Program commenced in Queensland in February 2020 and seeks to provide employment opportunities for up to 20 Indigenous Australians in central Queensland coal regions. Participants are based in the Tieri and Glenden townships in the Bowen Basin, close to our Oaky Creek, Newlands and Hail Creek operations. Program participants have been required to meet strict COVID-19 measures and protocols, as required at all our operations.
We are also planning to roll the program out in the Muswellbrook-Singleton area in New South Wales, near our Upper Hunter coal operations. The timing of this roll-out remains dependent on COVID-19 considerations.
The aim of the Pathways Program is simple – to provide skills and jobs for Indigenous Australians. We work with the Traditional Owners associated with our operations to source and create opportunities for individuals actively seeking employment.
In Queensland, we are running the program in conjunction with Indigenous-owned company Diversifi ed Building Services (DBS) QLD Pty Ltd. In New South Wales we plan to run the program with JobTrail, the Indigenous services division of the WorkPac Group.
Glencore’s copper, nickel and zinc businesses are also committed to closing the social, economic and health gaps between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian population. Our operations around Australia continue to work with their local Indigenous communities to deepen their relationship and achieve better community development and employment outcomes.
