BENEFITS FOR STAKEHOLDERS
AND ADDRESSING THEIR CONCERNS:

Ensuring the secure supply of cost-effective energy and water enables our mines to continue operating, while mitigating the costs of these critical inputs. This in turn benefits our shareholders through improved returns. By ensuring that we do not denude the quality or reduce the volume of water in areas around our mines, we strengthen our social licence to operate with communities. Most critically, we need to ensure the stability of our TSFs to ensure that there are no failures with disastrous consequences for our employees and adjacent communities.

HIGHLIGHTS DURING 2019

  • No serious environmental incidents (Level 3, 4 or 5) recorded
  • Meaningful contribution from renewable energy at Agnew and Granny Smith mines; expected to sustainably reduce carbon emission
  • First Climate Change Report published in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Second report published in March 2020
  • 4% reduction in freshwater withdrawal; 68% of our water consumption reused or recycled – both ahead of long-term targets
  • Further improved management and governance of 34 tailings storage facilities and published detailed inventory of these TSFs
