Independence Group Sustainability Report 2019

FY19 EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY SAFETY RESPONSES SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELLBEING Being an operator in the mining industry inherently brings with it risks due to the nature of our work. Our intention at IGO is, as a business and as individuals, to only take risks in a considered way. This means we do not accept any risk where there is any elevated potential for seriously harming someone or worse. It is unrealistic, however, to suggest that we can offer a totally hazard-free work environment. As such, we maintain an expectation of continuous improvement in the safety of our work places, the efficacy of our safety systems, and the creation of a culture that reflects real care for the safety and wellbeing of our people. The safety, health and wellbeing of our people, suppliers, and host communities adjacent to our operations is critical to our sustainability performance and social licence to operate. Our goal is to have no significant work- related injuries or incidents that impact on the safety and health of our people, no significant near-misses that could have led to injury, a declining trend in minor injuries, no occupational illness and an elevated sense of wellbeing amongst our people. At the time of preparing this report, it is with great sadness that we note the recent death of an extended team member as a result of an incident at our Nova Operation in September 2019. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and work mates. This was announced to the ASX at the time. An investigation is ongoing and we will share information when appropriate, including in future reports. Improving our safety culture We are actively creating a positive safety culture across our business. This effort is informed by the belief that culture is the product of the attitudes and behaviours demonstrated by our leaders from the frontline supervisor to the CEO. The team I work in is supportive of and believes the company’s intensions are positive when it comes to safety If I believe a job is unsafe, I am empowered to stop the job If I identify a safety issue, I know my manager will act on it IGO addresses safety issues quickly and effectively It is within our control to avoid serious accidents if we all remain vigilant People at IGO believe and trust leaders intentions when it comes to safety Leaders messages about safety at IGO are consistent with their actions Workplace safety and security are considered important here 87% 96% 91% 81% 97% 88% 86% 96% indicates a response strongly supportive or supportive of the proposition. indicates a response agreeing or somewhat agreeing to the proposition. indicates a response disagreeing or strongly disagreeing to the proposition. 34 — IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2019 SECTION 3 RESPONSIBLE OPERATIONS
