Argyle believes it has the capacity - and the responsibility - to make a positive and long-term difference to its stakeholders. This approach is led by Argyle's Chief Operating Officer, Kevin McLeish, who strongly believes that organisations such as Argyle must show respect and concern for the environments in which they operate, and for the people that their business activities impact upon.

Because Argyle operates in a region of significant economic and social disadvantage, one of the organisation's key priorities is to help build a stronger and more robust East Kimberley economy, that is not dependent upon the mine's operations. To this end, it is initiating training, employment and business development programs, especially for Indigenous people, which will improve the region's skill base and increase the number and profile of self-sustaining businesses. It is also building partnerships with local organisations, communities and businesses to develop health and education programs that will improve social outcomes in areas of greatest need. Finally, it is supporting Traditional Owners to become the drivers of economic and community development, so that growth and improvement will continue for indigenous communities long after Argyle has 'closed up shop'.

Argyle is also committed to helping its workers and their families build healthy and rewarding lifestyles, through the provision of world-class employee development opportunities, study assistance schemes, medical assistance schemes, healthy lifestyle programs, and the offering of a diversity of career options.
