Our Purpose

To help mining companies transform themselves into better contributors to the modern world.

Contributing to the world

At Whittle Consulting, we aim to achieve economic, environmental and socially transformative outcomes for mining companies and the communities they serve. 

We advise mining companies on their emerging strategic opportunities through:

Sustainability Statement

Stakeholder Impact

We support our clients and their shareholders on their journey to lower impacts on the planet. This includes the principles of Sustainability and environmental protection, that the community, employees and governments are seeking.

Critical Minerals & Decarbonisation

Decarbonisation is a recognised global imperative. To achieve this there is a pressing need for the minerals and metals of the energy transition.

Footprint Reduction

Our greatest contribution to Sustainability is our influence on the reduction in footprint. Our consulting processes naturally favour reductions in carbon, water, tailings and other footprint-related measures within the projects and operations of our clients.

Client Leverage

We are privileged that our team can contribute such beneficial environmental outcomes, which materially surpass our individual abilities to affect change.
