Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of our business and drives our pioneering spirit to work for a brighter tomorrow – it’s about integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into our decision-making, every day. Read the Thiess Group 2023 Sustainability Report to learn more.
As Thiess turns 90, we reflect on our achievements as we leverage nine decades of expertise and innovation to power our transformation towards sustainable mining services.
