澳大利亚第三大矿企力拓（FMG.AX）周三表示，在对性骚扰和霸凌指控进行调查后，公司解雇了一名高管。
Fortescue (FMG.AX), Australia's third-largest miner, said on Wednesday it fired a senior executive following an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and bullying.
力拓发言人在声明中称，由律师事务所明德（MinterEllison）进行的调查发现，该高管的行为违反了公司政策和价值观。力拓未透露该高管姓名，也未提供调查结果的更多细节。
The investigation, conducted by law firm MinterEllison, found conduct that breached company policies and values, a Fortescue spokesperson said in a statement.
性骚扰一直是西澳大利亚矿区的顽疾，并于2021年在该州引发了一项调查。
Fortescue did not name the executive or provide additional details of the findings.
声明称：“性骚扰、霸凌以及其他让人感到不安全的行为在力拓没有立足之地。”
Sexual harassment has been a persistent issue at mine sites in Western Australia and sparked an enquiry in the state in 2021.
“调查发现该行为违反了力拓的政策及我们的价值观。因此，监督此事的董事会小组委员会终止了该人员的合同。”
"Sexual harassment, bullying and other behaviour that makes people feel unsafe has no place at Fortescue," the statement said.
《澳大利亚金融评论报》于8月公开了针对该高管性骚扰和霸凌指控的调查。
"The investigation found conduct that breached Fortescue's policies, as well as our values. The board sub-committee overseeing the matter therefore ceased the individual's contract." The probe into the allegations of sexual harassment and bullying by the executive was made public in August by the Australian Financial Review newspaper.
力拓在当月晚些时候暂停了该人员职务，此前公司曾表示法律建议显示无此必要。
Fortescue suspended the person later that month, after initially saying legal advice indicated it was not necessary.
力拓还于7月面临一起集体诉讼，指控其工作场所存在不当行为，包括性骚扰和基于性别的歧视。
Fortescue was also served with a class action suit in July alleging workplace misconduct, including sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination.
