PLS

We're excited to be partnering with Curtin University's Motorsport Team for the next three years, helping more than 50 students gain hands-on experience in battery systems, electric drivetrains and autonomous vehicle technologies 🚗⚡

From designing and building competition vehicles to solving real-world engineering challenges, students are gaining practical experience in technologies that will play an important role in the future of mobility, resources and energy.

We're proud to support opportunities that help turn classroom learning into real-world experience while building the skills Australia will need for the future.

It was great to be at the Hedland Sustainable Living Show Day on Saturday.

Thank you to Care For Hedland Environmental Association for bringing together local organisations, businesses and community members to share practical ideas around waste reduction, environmental stewardship, renewable energy and sustainable living ♻️🌿

We enjoyed chatting with everyone who stopped by and connecting with other local organisations working to make a positive contribution across Port Hedland 💚

This National Reconciliation Week, our team attended the Reconciliation WA Breakfast in Boorloo, joining thousands of people across the state to mark the start of the week and this year's theme, All In.

Across our Pilgangoora Operation on Nyamal and Kariyarra Country, teams are also taking part in activities that encourage reflection, conversation and cultural learning 🖤💛❤️

For PLS, reconciliation is more than a single week. It's part of how we operate, how we build relationships, respect culture, heritage and Country, and work together with communities connected to our operations.

We are proud to have completed 38 of 39 actions in our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), with planning underway for our next phase – our Innovate RAP.

Reconciliation is ongoing, and our focus remains on listening, learning and taking meaningful action.

Over the weekend, 40 of our Great People took part in the HBF Run for a Reason, raising an impressive $6,370 for Cancer Council WA, with every dollar matched by PLS to bring the total contribution to $12,740.

These funds help provide vital support so no West Australian has to face cancer alone.

Incredible effort for an even better cause 💚

This National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating our people giving back through the PLS Corporate Volunteering Program 💙

During National Volunteer Week, our Environment team volunteered at WA Wildlife, helping with practical outdoor tasks to support the organisation’s care for native animals.

Since launching the program in 2025, our people have contributed more than 256 volunteering hours focused on food relief, conservation, blood donations and community wellbeing.

Thank you to everyone who continues to make a practical difference in the communities where we live and work.

Since launching our annual Community Grants Program in 2023, we’ve supported 37 projects in Port Hedland and surrounding areas that are contributing to a thriving, strong and diverse community.

Community organisations can apply for up to $10,000, with funding available for local projects and events that align with our focus areas of education, community resilience and energy transition.
