Independence Group Sustainability Report 2019

SUSTAINABILITY FUNDAMENTALS REPORTING OUR MATERIAL PRIORITIES We strive to develop strong and effective relationships with our stakeholders. In accordance with the IGO Community Policy and Common Management Standard 7 – Communication, Consultation and Participation, our teams seek to understand the matters that are most material to our community stakeholders and Traditional Owners. Every year IGO reviews the topics that matter most to our business and stakeholders when it comes to environment, social, economic and governance matters across our business life cycle. We apply a materiality process to inform the scope and level of information described in this Sustainability Report. Following the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards for sustainability reporting, in FY19 we prioritised our material topics by combining feedback from IGO leaders and subject matter experts, the consideration of stakeholder expectations and an analysis of the external environment. An important inclusion was the outcomes of the social impact assessment and community survey conducted in early 2019. IGO’s Executive Leadership Team reviewed the prioritised topics to ensure our purpose and strategic imperatives were considered. The Sustainability and Risk Committee and Board then reviewed and approved the assessment. Our material topics are presented in the following matrix and are described on the following pages, along with their respective stakeholder boundary. The GRI content index on pages 82‑95 includes responses to the GRI Standards for general and topic- specific disclosures and the Mining & Metals sector supplement indicators, where we have determined the topics to be material to IGO. The content index also notes other sources of information. Reporting our material priorities Stakeholder engagement and communication IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2019 — 69
