Our vision and values

We’re incredibly forward thinking with a clear vision, mission, values and goals. We’re focused on the commercialisation of the skills and knowledge of both our people and the vast quantities of data that we hold in relation to the legacy of mining.

We’ll help you to improve your skills and build on your expertise through interesting, challenging and rewarding work to enable you to get the most out of working with us.

Single equality scheme

Our aim is to create a working environment that upholds the right of individuals to be treated with respect and dignity by eliminating unlawful discrimination, victimisation or harassment.

The aim of the Single Equality Scheme is to manage the equality and diversity agenda within organisations as intended by the Equality Act 2010.

This single scheme covers race, disability, gender reassignment, sex and sexual orientation, religion or belief and age to ensure legislative and best practice requirements are being met in relation to all strands of equality.
