Sustainability Roadmap

At Bradken, our goal is to be carbon neutral for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. This goal may seem ambitious when you consider that many other companies in the resources sector are setting targets for 2040 or 2050.

Over the past one hundred years at Bradken, we've grown to become one of the world's leading solutions providers for mining equipment wear parts. With a focus on innovative design, we provide effective solutions to our customers’ operational challenges, through our core manufacturing capability across our highly regarded global network of foundries, machine and fabrication workshops. Our customers come to us worldwide from across the mining and resources, rail and transit, energy, structural and industrial casting, and defense sectors.

Part of what makes us who we are, is how we come together and rise to solve challenges. It's been part of Bradken’s DNA since we began one hundred years ago.

Being a sustainable company isn't just about climate change and supporting the environment. It's about creating a sustainable system for business processes, our people and the environments we work in based on efficiency, efficacy and circular business models.

By adopting these approaches, Bradken plans to continue operating beyond the next one hundred years.

Pam Johnson is the Global Sustainability Lead at Bradken. She joined the company over two years ago with a vision to help bring its processes, people and outcomes together to become more sustainable. She's currently developing a detailed Sustainability Roadmap to provide clear direction on how Bradken will become carbon neutral by 2030.

"We're taking a more proactive approach by stepping up to the challenge and leading the way towards carbon neutrality. This places us ahead of the curve with customers and stakeholders, as they start to expect more in terms of our sustainability credentials," Pam notes.

During workshops conducted across Bradken earlier this year, our teams indicated their high level of commitment. They were not only active in coming up with ideas during the workshop, but had also developed pre-prepared presentations on initial thinking for their sites.
