Purpose, History, Values - Interlate

Our purpose

Interlate’s purpose is to contribute to a sustainable future through enhanced operational productivity.

We will do this by working with our customers to harness operational data, understand carbon emissions accounting and, provide confidence for teams in using data to power asset improvements.

We want to empower our customers to make better long-term decisions, enhancing operational productivity, delivering better returns to all their stakeholders, and driving transformation toward a sustainable future.

The Interlate story

In 2015, a group of concerned people got together and asked a question “How can mining companies enrich the lives of people in a more sustainable way”?

Our answer was to find a way to help companies fund and de-risk transformation. We realised that if companies could unleash latent value in their operations, and reduce emissions while improving operational productivity, they could satisfy all their stakeholders while undergoing transformation.

In 2016, Interlate began operating from a purpose-built Operations Intelligence Centre in Australia. From here, we developed and patented technologies that could be accessed by any site, anywhere in the world, enabling our customers to demonstrate the value of their transformation programs.

In 2022, our mission to contribute to a sustainable future by leading transformation through enhanced operational productivity is enabled by an exceptional team of people that have joined us over the years. As we take our tools and methods into other industries, we are continually encouraged by our courageous customers, who are also committed to a better future.

Our values

Others Focused

We help each other and our customers look good and feel good.

We are proactive in anticipating our customers’ needs and work smarter to fulfil them. We love making a difference and working together to achieve big goals – we are not fussed about who gets the credit.
We know our team and our customers are people with lives outside work, and we behave as such, making time to encourage each other, and give back to our communities.

Obstacles are opportunities

We are resilient and choose to grow from challenging situations. Setbacks are not failures; they are lessons learned.

The recent past of Interlate (as we dealt with the big changes that came with a change in the market due to Covid-19) has definitely shown us that we’re a resilient bunch and we aren’t fazed by obstacles. We are confident in what we can do as a team and chose to face the challenges with a united front.

Together we go far

We know our team has our back and we are free to bring our whole selves to work. We create a safe space to have difficult conversations with candour.

We can’t be Others-focused or see Obstacles as Opportunities without the amazing encouragement and empathy of our team surrounding us. We make time to hear each voice and respond to concerns. We know that our differences make us a stronger team; and this is in fact, what makes us more creative, intelligent, productive, and sought-after by our customers.

Dream big do big

We are big thinkers and audacious do-ers.

No prizes for doing the same thing because we’ve always done it that way. Our feet are planted in today’s challenges, but our hearts are looking ahead to what could be in the future; we take the long-term view of things. We are comfortable taking risks because we know the best experiences and learnings are achieved that way.

We take play seriously

We make time to explore and experiment with intent and have fun doing it.

There is always an element of fun in our work because we know that a state of flow is not reached without it. We love the office- and forum- banter as well as our sport and social events; we know that these aspects of work are not just enjoyable, they are making us into a better team.
