Sustainability Report 2021

Sustainable Development Goals We have long recognised our broader role in society and the importance of alignment with international standards and goals. IGO’s approach to sustainability and our sustainability model is aligned with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). The Sustainable Development Goals 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. It is a roadmap to work in partnership and intensify efforts to share prosperity, empower people’s livelihoods, ensure peace and heal our planet for the benefit of current and future generations. IGO seeks to contribute to the fulfilment of the development goals, and are working 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. This year we have identified six SDGs where our activities best contribute to the universal, social and economic aspirations, and illustrate where we can influence and make a real difference. Our contribution towards these goals is addressed throughout the report. Sustainable Development Goal IGO’s contribution Read more Good health and wellbeing Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing at all ages. We care about the safety, health and wellbeing of each other, and that of our host communities. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing is essential to sustainable development. As a key material issue to our business, we maintain an expectation of continuous improvement in the safety of our workplaces, the efficacy of our safety and health systems, and the creation of a culture that reflects real care for the health and wellbeing of our people. The case study on page 43 and our response to COVID-19 on page 37 are both testaments to how IGO are ensuring the safety and health of our people. Safety & Wellbeing Page 38 Gender equality Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. We value the strength of a diverse workforce and inclusive culture, where every person is respected and empowered. We publicly disclose our targets for year-on-year improvement in the number of women employed in the business and we implement initiatives that promote gender equality and inclusion. IGO’s pledge to the HESTA 40:40 Vision to achieve gender balance in executive leadership by 2030 (page 34) is one example of our commitment to gender equality. Our People Page 30 Decent work and economic growth Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. A key pillar of IGO’s strategy is the delivery of quality products that are made safely, ethically, sustainably and reliably. This drives the way we operate and conduct our business. Our success in delivering our business strategy enables us to share the benefits our business creates, particularly with our people and communities, while contributing to the growth of the local and regional economies. We share economic value and growth through taxes, employment and procurement opportunities.
