Fortescue

About Fortescue

Founded in 2003, Fortescue quickly established itself in the Pilbara, and today that connection is deeper than ever. Our mining operations are connected by 760km of rail to Port Hedland, exporting over 190 million tonnes of iron ore annually to customers worldwide.

Backed by a workforce of over 16,000, we are united by a shared mission – to accelerate decarbonisation on a global scale, rapidly and profitably. With a pipeline of future growth opportunities including in Africa, Europe, Latin America and Australia, we continue to expand our global footprint.

Our growth is built on financial discipline and innovation, ensuring every investment strengthens our global position and delivers long-term value. We are committed to achieving our Real Zero Target by 2030, eliminating the use of fossil fuels across our Australian terrestrial iron ore operations by 2030, without relying on carbon offsets (unless required to do so by law) or carbon capture and storage.

Through Fortescue Zero, we are pioneering ground-breaking technologies to eliminate fossil fuel use, providing solutions that help industries accelerate decarbonisation on a global scale. We are investing significantly in research and development, including leveraging cutting-edge technology to process iron ore into green iron using renewable energy.

Our Green Metal Project, now under construction in the Pilbara, will use green hydrogen to produce high purity green iron. Beyond business, we are committed to building thriving communities, creating lasting social and economic impact through training, employment and business development initiatives. Our Billion Opportunities program underscores this commitment, awarding A$6.6 billion in contracts to Australian First Nations businesses since its launch in 2011.
