 Mitigating actions

 The bulk of our Southern African Operations remain dependent on coal as a   primary feedstock, and this makes up the greatest portion of our contribution   to the relevant airsheds. In addressing this we have implemented initiatives   and taken actions. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Technical solutions being pursued
  • Renewable energy procurement identified as a key intervention initiative – 1,2 GW by 2030, with >600 MW progressed during 2024
  • Short-term water targets set and monitored for remedial action
  • Continued the process of creating a baseline understanding for circularity
  • ESG questionnaire sent to suppliers in South Africa
