Committed to people and partnerships
As a key part of the Western Australian community and an important player in the gold industry for more than 125 years, The Perth Mint is committed to fostering and maintaining our valued partnerships in the precious metals industry and the communities where we operate.
Our priorities include diversity, equity and inclusion; employee engagement and development; health, safety and wellbeing; local communities; responsible supply chain; and stakeholder engagement.
Health, safety and wellbeing
We have a strong commitment to providing a safe working environment for all our employees, contractors and communities where we operate.
Safety is embedded in our operations as one of our core organisational values. This is underpinned by our safety promise: Safe people. Safe workplace. Safely home. We believe every employee should go home safe and well at the end of every shift.
Our safety performance
One of the initiatives in our corporate strategy is to drive improved safety across all our sites. We set annual targets to reduce our Significant Incident Frequency Rate (SIFR) and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR.

Responsible supply chain
We work continually to strengthen our responsible sourcing practices across all supply chains, including precious metals and other materials. Through the application of robust due diligence processes, we work to identify, manage and mitigate sourcing risks.
Modern slavery
The Perth Mint is committed to taking the necessary steps towards identifying and addressing the risk of modern slavery practices in our business operations and supply chains.
We remain alert to the potential for modern slavery within our supply chains in various forms of exploitation, including trafficking, servitude, child labour, forced labour, debt bondage and deceptive recruiting.
