ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT This section covers environmental aspects that are deemed to be of material significance to IGO’s sustainability performance. IGO identifies these material aspects on an ongoing basis by means of environmental monitoring, risk assessments, environmental reporting (both internal and external), and annual compliance reviews. Tess Lewis Environment Graduate, Nova Operation BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE “To be environmentally responsible implies doing what is right and encouraging others to operate with respect and accountability. We are making decisions while thinking about the future we want to build, and working with stakeholders to minimise our impacts. The Esperance shipping trials have been an important part of my role, ensuring we mitigate any credible risk to the environment. As an Esperance local, it’s great to be involved and see the importance IGO places on the wider environment and community.” IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017— 73
