API Management

As a substantial resource development, implementation of the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project will bring change for communities and the environment local to the development. API Management Pty Ltd (APIM) recognises the importance of balancing social, economic, safety and health, and environmental aspects in all phases of its business and is committed to undertaking its activities in a manner that considers the values of the people, natural environments and communities in which it operates.

An important aspect of this commitment is to engage with communities and stakeholders including government, local land holders, Traditional Owners, non-government organisations, local businesses, and other groups to discuss concerns and explore opportunities for stakeholders, presented by the project.

Maintaining a thorough understanding of the existing environment and the communities in which we operate is an essential part of this.

APIM has invested heavily in completing extensive studies including heritage surveys, and consulted widely to inform the design and environmental impact assessment of the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project. These studies commenced in 2007 and have continued through to the present as design changes and newly optimised development strategies are considered. Development strategy changes occur to accommodate newly identified ore deposits and further optimised supporting mine, rail and port infrastructure components.

APIM has active Environment, Safety, Community and Indigenous engagement polices that provide overarching objectives and direction for management. These are supported by other corporate policies including the APIM Risk Policy that provides guidance on a systematic framework for managing environmental, community and safety risks associated with the design and implementation of the Project.
