Product Stewardship

Product Stewardship

At Orica, product stewardship means adopting life cycle thinking in the creation and delivery of its products and services.

Key Challenges and Opportunities

Life cycle thinking presents opportunities to review overall SHEC risks related to manufacture, distribution, use and disposal of Orica products for both Orica and its customers. Orica’s expertise and large range of mining products and services position it well to improve each stage of the mining value chain.Challenges include ensuring supply of limited resources and the need for continued responsible and efficient use of non-renewable natural resources such as fossil fuels and minerals.
