Our People
Our employees are the key to Mozal’s continued success. Their dedication, skills, and leadership are what make us a world-class operation.
With a workforce of 5,284 direct employees — of which 98% are Mozambican — and more than 22,000 indirect jobs created through multiplier effects, Mozal is one of the largest industrial employers in Mozambique. Today, 60% of our leadership positions are held by Mozambicans, reflecting our commitment to developing local talent and empowering future leaders.
We invest heavily in skills development, having spent USD 11.1 million on training and education between FY15 and FY24. These investments ensure that our people are equipped with the knowledge and capabilities to succeed today and to continue shaping the future of Mozambique’s industry.

Our Communities
Our passion for supporting communities has deep roots. At Mozal, we are committed to making a difference in people’s lives — today and for generations to come.
We believe that with the support of our partners, stakeholders, and government, it is possible to transform the lives of those who need it most.
Over the last decade, Mozal has invested more than USD 26.5 million in community and social development programs. These initiatives are guided by our social investment strategy, focusing on Health and Well-being, Education and Leadership, Economic Participation, and Natural Resource Resilience.
The outcomes of this investment are tangible and visible across our communities. Each project not only provides a practical solution to immediate challenges but also contributes significantly to the long-term socio-economic growth of Mozambique.

Environment
At Mozal, we are committed to operating responsibly and to achieving zero harm to the environment. This ambition guides every aspect of our processes — from improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions, to responsible waste management and safeguarding natural resources.
We demonstrate our commitment through initiatives that create lasting benefits for biodiversity and ecosystems, ensuring that our operations not only deliver aluminium of the highest quality, but also contribute to a sustainable future for Mozambique and beyond.

Operating Ethically
Operating ethically and responsibly is essential to fulfilling our purpose, delivering on our strategy and building strong, trusting relationships with our stakeholders.
Our Reporting Approach
We are committed to transparently reporting our sustainability performance, in line with our Sustainability Policy and the ICMM Mining Principle 1 – Ethical Business. We welcome stakeholder feedback to help us to continue to improve our reporting.
Transparency in disclosing our sustainability performance and progress is essential to build trust and demonstrate delivery on our commitments. Our Sustainable Development Reports explain how our business-wide processes support our sustainability commitments, how we manage our most important sustainability topics, and the progress we have made during a reporting period.
We prepare our Sustainable Development Reports in accordance with the GRI Standards 2021, Recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and the ICMM Mining Principles and Position Statements. In our 2023 Sustainability Databook we also demonstrate how we are pursuing alignment with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation’s Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standard for the Metals and Mining industry.
We are committed to continuously improving our sustainability performance, optimising our positive contributions and minimising adverse impacts by protecting and respecting our people, delivering value to society, operating ethically and responsibly, managing our environmental impact and taking steps to address climate change.
