2021 Annual Report

To produce and explore for the metals supplying a green energy future, we work in some of Australia’s most biologically, ecologically and culturally rich environments. IGO is proud to contribute to a clean energy future, and we will continue to invest in our commitment to being a sustainable business. Our Financial Contributions Environment Success in delivering our strategy enables us to share the benefits our business creates and help sustain local and regional economies. It provides our stakeholders with the confidence that we are sharing value through taxes, royalties, employment and procurement opportunities, in addition to building communities by investing in education and training. Host communities and local governments rightly expect mining to bring significant economic benefits and our goal is to leave host communities better than when we arrived. Acting in an ethical, responsible and transparent manner is fundamental to local communities and the way we conduct our business in accordance with our values. We support economic development in the communities in which we operate by seeking to invest first locally, then regionally within Western Australia, then nationally and finally internationally. IGO’s economic contributions can be measured by the dividends we pay, salaries and other employment benefits we provide to our employees, the money we spend on contractors and consultants, taxes and royalties paid, and payments made through our Corporate Giving activities. Responsible environmental management plays a significant role in maintaining our social licence to operate, and our commitment to doing what is right drives our environmental stewardship efforts. IGO’s purpose of Making a Difference, and our strategy demonstrates our commitment to leadership in environmental stewardship. We endeavour to be proactively green and sustainable, both in the choice of commodities we seek to develop and how their development is pursued. In this area, innovation can be a catalyst. We prioritise innovation and collaboration to reduce our physical footprint; improve the way we use our natural resources; and be a catalyst for establishing the proactively green, carbon neutral mines of the future. As we progress towards our strategic aspirations, carbon neutral strategy and sustainability framework, we work hard to protect the environment and minimise our impacts. We conduct our environmental management activities throughout the business life cycle in accordance with our Environmental Policy and seven publicly available Group Environmental Management Standards, including rehabilitation and mine closure; social and environmental impact assessment; mineral waste management; water management; land use and biodiversity management; air emissions management; and general waste management. While IGO’s environmental impacts are relatively minor, we have an ongoing commitment to make a real but proportionate contribution to addressing global environmental challenges. 687ha land rehabilitated in FY21, 19% increase on FY20 A$6.2M total spend on Aboriginal owned or managed businesses in FY21, an increase of 29% on FY20 81% of our suppliers of goods and services are located locally or within Western Australia 566t waste and other materials recycled in FY21 increase in the decant water recycled at the Nova Operation 23% IGO ANNUAL REPORT 2021— 31
