Our Phosphate Hill team welcomed CEO&MD Mauro Neves, President IPF Scott Bowman, and Chief HSE & Operations Excellence Officer, Steph De Nichilo, on site last week to view our operations and engage with our valued workforce.   Our Phos Hill site produces high-quality fertilisers for local and international farmers and our dedicated on-site team takes great pride in playing their role to help feed and clothe the world.   The three-day visit included a tour of the Phosphate Rock Mine, the Granulation Plant as well as the on-site maintenance facilities. We also spent focused time discussing how we learn from safety critical hazards and incidents to promote a continuous learning culture on site and live our Zero Harm values every day.  

IPL recently had the pleasure of engaging with the bright young minds of grades 5 and 6 at Kuraby State School, Brisbane (Meanjin), as part of AREEA’s Bright Future STEM program. Our team comprised of members from Dyno Nobel, Sean Xu and Max Galwey, who inspired students with insights from the dynamic fields of mining and explosives. Whilst Hannah Campbell from our fertiliser business shared her experiences from an expedition to Antarctica and discussed the global importance of fertilisers. The team hosted hands-on STEM activities which sparked creativity and showcased the students’ impressive problem-solving skills. At IPL we understand the critical importance of inspiring and nurturing future talent, and it’s initiatives like AREEA’s Bright Future STEM program that fuel the passion for science and technology in the next generation. A big thank you to Kuraby State School for the warm welcome and to AREEA for driving the future of STEM leadership!

Congratulations Roya!

This week at IPL, we celebrated NAIDOC Week across our Australian-based sites, embracing the rich cultural history of our First Nations Peoples. The 2024 theme, ‘Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud’, highlights the enduring strength and vitality of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Here’s a snapshot of some of the events held across our Australian sites including IPL’s CEO Mauro Neves taking part in a Symbolic Art Drawing Workshop at our Southbank Office and a NAIDOC week event at Dyno Nobel’s Curragh site, where employees enjoyed cake and important conversations on what NAIDOC week means to them.   Our IPL RAP Working Group is dedicated to advancing our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, with a strong focus on increasing participation rates among First Nations employees. Let's keep the fire burning and continue to celebrate and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. #NAIDOC2024 #KeepTheFireBurning #BlakLoudProud #IPL #ReconciliationActionPlan #FirstNations
