IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020

• Gold Industry Group The Gold Industry Group is a member-based, not-for-profit industry body that represents gold producers, explorers, prospectors and service providers to collectively champion the gold sector and support communities across Australia. IGO is a key member and works collaboratively with the Group to enable a strong, sustainable and connected gold industry. • WA Mining Club and the WA Mining Club Young Professionals The WA Mining Club was formed in 1972 as a platform for people involved in the industry to meet, network and discuss industry trends. The Young Professionals was more recently established, aspiring to drive diversification and innovation, and create a forum that supports development and retention of young mining professionals. IGO is a member of the WA Mining Club and a key sponsor of the Young Professionals, and has a significant number of employees who are members or committee members. • Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) AusIMM provides support and advocacy for industry professionals. It represents a global community of members from 100 countries involved in all aspects of mining. Our Nova Operation General Manager, Chris Carr, is currently on the AusIMM Board of Directors. • Women in Mining WA (WIMWA) WIMWA aims to encourage women to increase their presence in the mining industry. It provides a network of professional connections and supports the industry to be proactive in attracting and retaining women. IGO has a large number of employees who are WIMWA members. We have a number of key executive employees who participate in WIMWA’s mentoring program and we were proud to be the platinum sponsor of the 2019 and 2020 WIMWA Summit. IGO also regularly sponsors and hosts WIMWA networking events. • International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) Although not a member of the ICMM, IGO apply the ICMM 10 Principles for Sustainable Development to guide our approach to managing sustainability risks and impacts, and to identifying improvement opportunities. The principles are included in the IGO Code of Conduct and integrated into our policies and standards. • Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) GRI is an independent organisation with an international framework outlining benchmark standards for sustainability reporting. We prepare our annual Sustainability Report in line with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (Core option) and the GRI Mining and Metals Sector Supplement. • CEOs for Gender Equity This Western Australian initiative aims to grow awareness of the benefits of gender equity and its impacts when addressed, as well as to set an example for other CEO’s and business leaders who want to bring about change in their workforce. IGO’s CEO and Managing Director, Peter Bradford, is a member of CEOs for Gender Equity. • Centre of Resources Excellence (CoRE) Learning Foundation IGO collaborated with the CoRE Learning Foundation, working towards establishing links that connect industry, community, education and government (state and federal) to meet student’s needs and help deliver future, sustainable workforces for Australian mining industry. You can read more about our contributions on page 80. During FY20 we are proud to have further enhanced our sustainability framework through the integration of our Proactively Green strategy (page 27). The Sustainable Development Goals The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals and 169 targets endorsed by the UN in 2015. Australia, with 192 other countries, has agreed to take steps to fulfill the broad sustainability agenda focused on the need to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and respond to climate change by 2030. IGO seeks to contribute to the fulfilment of the SDGs, and work towards this achievement through: • our direct business activities – the products we produce and the way we produce them; • our voluntary social investment – working towards our purpose of Making a Difference; and • our economic contributions – the taxes and royalties we pay, the direct and indirect employment opportunities we create, and our supply chain. We have identified 11 SDGs where our activities best contribute to the universal social and economic aspirations. Our contribution towards these goals is addressed in the introduction of key chapters. 3. GOOD HEALTH AND WELLBEING Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages Page 48 4.
