Diversity  

Orica Mining Services, the largest supplier of commercial explosives and blasting systems, offers a dynamic, diverse and challenging work environment with exceptional career development opportunities. Orica operates a drug and alcohol free environment. 

Central to Orica Mining Services success are its people and culture. At Orica, we have established a high-performance culture that empowers and motivates our people to achieve long-term sustainable results. This is how we go about our business. Orica’s culture is guided by the “Deliver The Promise” principles – four key principles that embody the attitudes, behaviours and ethics that are common to all employees.

The business case for Orica to embrace diversity within a global context is compelling, with an employee base spread across more than 50 countries diversity is essential to Orica’s future success. A formal objective was established by the Orica Board in 2009 and this has helped to guide a strategic approach to enhancing the benefits of diversity across our global business. With a core purpose, clear strategy and strong culture, Orica is well positioned to deliver value to our key stakeholders – our employees, our shareholders, our customers and the communities in which we operate.

Diversity is essential to Orica for a number  of reasons, including:

• Enhancing long term sustainability by ensuring the Company is able to attract the best employees from the broadest possible pool of global talent;
• Ensuring the Company has the local knowledge and skills required to lead and support growth in emerging markets;
• Generating better solutions to problems and greater innovation; and 
• Enhancing the positive impact the Company has on the communities in which it operates.

By sourcing employees from a wide range of  backgrounds, we benefit from a range of experience, insight and skill. Strategies have been implemented across the Orica Mining Services business to increase workforce participation amongst women in field operations roles.
