Marathon is acutely aware of its environmental and social responsibilities as a responsible corporate citizen.

The Company is committed to exploration and mining with minimal environmental and social impact, recognising that its social license to operate depends from the outset on maintaining an environmental and social balance that is as close to original as practicable.

Exploration activities require consultation with various claimants including communities affected by Native Title, landowners and authorities. The Company aspires to be a good corporate citizen through consultation and involvement of those parties.
