At MMG we mine for progress. That means delivering progress for our people, host communities and countries and furthering economic wellbeing progress via the products and technologies we support and, most importantly for MMG, progress for broader human development. The social and economic benefits delivered through our operations and their supply chains support our employees, shareholders, communities, regions and host countries to develop and prosper. In addition to improving access to health, education and other livelihood indicators, human development recognises the importance of managing vulnerability and building community resilience.

MMG values education and with a large part of learning now online, we are making laptop devices free of charge to high school students at the Rosebery District School. MMG’s device sponsorship brings local students equal access to classroom resources, which is helpful for parents who can’t afford to purchase computers. At the completion of year 10, students can keep the device to further ongoing education, training studies and other workplace pursuits. Students and parents have provided feedback on the benefits of being able to retain the laptops to use for research and job applications.
