We built one of the world’s lowest-cost mining operations by challenging how it’s always been done, and have become one of the highest returning companies in Australia, delivering more than A$45 billion in dividends.
Now we’re taking on something bigger. Removing fossil fuels from heavy industry, and building the green solutions the world needs to decarbonise.
Not in theory. In real operations, at scale. While doing it profitably.
Nearly 200 million tonnes of iron ore move through our Pilbara operations every year. That’s not just scale. It’s leverage. It funds the work to cut fossil fuels out of heavy industry. Tests the technology. Proves what works under real pressure. But we're not stopping at iron ore. We're expanding into critical minerals and building a globally diversified operation for the next century.
We’re building the green solutions the world needs to eliminate fossil fuels, and developing the world’s first fully integrated industrial green grid. A renewable energy system designed to power our Pilbara operations, 24/7. Enough renewable power to run the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of homes. No offsets. No shortcuts. Proof. That a system like this can be built, and run profitably, at scale. We’re not waiting for the energy transition. We’re leading it.
Real change comes from innovation. Through Fortescue Zero, our R&D and commercialisation arm, we drive zero-emissions technology solutions the world needs to decarbonise. From high-performance batteries to autonomous fleets, smarter energy systems and beyond. We prove it where it matters first. On our own sites. Under real pressure. Then we scale it beyond Fortescue. To the world.
Fortescue shouldn't exist. The market was locked. The odds were against us. We built it anyway, because of how we work, not just what we do.
Frugality kept us lean when others spent big. Courage and determination kept us moving when critics said stop. Humility meant we learned fast. Enthusiasm means we never treated hard problems as someone else's to solve.
These aren't words on a wall. They're why we're here, and how we'll decarbonise.
Fortescue has never been led by people who accept the status quo. Our Board and leadership team bring the experience, conviction and commercial discipline to back bold bets, and deliver on them.
From the Pilbara to global markets, from the mine sites to the energy grid, there's a lot happening at Fortescue. Here's where to go deeper.
