Group constitution

1.Purpose

1.1Akaliko connects mining customers and partners to component supply, manufacturing, technical expertise and lifecycle services.
1.2Our advantage is the combination: companies, facilities and partners that together can do more than any one of them alone.
1.3Every part of the group is judged by one test: whether it makes that combination stronger for customers and partners.

2.1The network is made up of three kinds of business, and we keep them distinct in everything we say and do.
2.2Group company: a business that is part of the Akaliko group. We describe it as Akaliko, by name.
2.3Joint venture: a business we own together with another company. We describe it as a joint venture and name both parties.
2.4Independent partner: a business we work with that is not part of the group. We describe it as a partner and never present it as our own.

3.1Direction is set centrally, ownership is clear, and delivery is local.
3.2The Executive Committee sets the group’s direction and is accountable for its strategy, major decisions and overall performance.
3.3Each capability has a named leader who owns its standards, development and performance across the group.
3.4Group companies serve the customers, people and sites in their region, within group standards.
3.5Eight specialist forums bring expertise to specific kinds of decision, within the direction set by the Executive Committee.

4.1Six values are the standard for every decision: together we thrive; integrity always; made for customers; embrace change, drive growth; lead with humility; and sustainable success.
4.2The behaviour each value requires is set out in Values and conduct.

5.1Work is done close to the customer, by local teams, partner workshops and field technicians.
5.2Safety, quality and conduct standards are the same everywhere.
5.3Methods may adapt to local law, customers and conditions, provided the outcome meets the standard.

6.1Any change to this constitution is approved by the Executive Committee and published here.
6.2The Executive Committee reviews this constitution every year, and whenever the structure of the group changes.
