South32 Limited is a diversified metals and mining company headquartered in Perth, Australia. Established in 2000, the company maintains a global portfolio of assets producing a broad range of commodities, including bauxite, alumina, aluminum, copper, silver, lead, zinc, nickel, ferronickel, manganese, and metallurgical coal. South32 operates through multiple segments, such as Worsley Alumina, Brazil Alumina, Hillside Aluminium, Mozal Aluminium, Sierra Gorda, Cannington, Hermosa, Australia Manganese, and South Africa Manganese, with mining and processing operations spanning Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Mozambique, North America, and beyond.
Serving industries fundamental to modern infrastructure and technology, South32’s products underpin sectors like construction, transportation, energy, and manufacturing. Its diversified asset base and multi-jurisdictional presence help mitigate commodity and operational risks, reinforcing its role as a significant contributor to global raw material supply chains. South32 was formed following a demerger of non-core assets from BHP in 2015, and it continues to play a critical role in supporting the transition to more sustainable technologies, given the essential nature of its mined commodities.
