Sustainability Report 2021

COLLABORATION & INNOVATION DRIVING SUSTAINABILITY Across every aspect of our business, we think innovatively about how to ensure the safety of our people, enhance our sustainability performance, ensure shared value to our communities, and deliver strong returns to our shareholders. We view innovation as a catalyst for sustainability and the acceleration of a clean energy future. A key enabler for a more sustainable future is our deliberate collaboration with others – other companies, key industry groups, research organisations, global initiatives and consortiums. We actively monitor legislative and regulatory changes, both directly and via key industry groups and sustainability bodies of which we, or our employees, are members. We are deliberate in our participation in selecting regional, national and global organisations and initiatives. These inform our management approach to sustainability, improving our performance and contributing to global sustainable goals. Our principal memberships, sponsorships and partnerships, and the key roles that IGO representatives contribute to, are: Future Battery Industries Cooperative Research Centre (FBICRC) Established in 2019 by the Federal Government, the FBICRC provides industry-led research capability to grow Australia’s competitiveness and to contribute in the global battery industries value chain. A portfolio of 16 projects has been developed, of which IGO has identified six that align with our strategies. IGO is a core member, with 13 employees participating across a range of programs. You can read more about our participation on page 56. Electric Mine Consortium IGO is one of 14 industry leaders and mining companies to initiate the Electric Mine Consortium, which aims to reduce scope one and two carbon emissions through the use of clean energy, large-scale energy storage and the use of electric mining vehicles. The four goals of the consortium are to resolve technology choices; shape the supplier ecosystem; influence policy; and communicate the business case. While the electrification of mines will reduce greenhouse gases, an additional benefit of the initiative will be to reduce workforce exposure to hazardous particulates that are produced by the burning diesel. We are proud to support and be part of the Electric Mine Consortium and look forward to working collaboratively with our peers toward the decarbonisation of our industry. Read more on page 57. Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) Representing over 275 members across Australia who work in the mineral exploration and mining industry, AMEC provides policy and advocacy initiatives on industry topics. IGO has been a member since 2007. Our Managing Director & CEO, Peter Bradford, is the current President of AMEC and we actively participate in various standing committees and working groups. 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 Group Manager – Technical Services, 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 executives who participate in WIMWA’s mentoring program and we were proud to be the platinum sponsor of the 2019, 2020 and 2021 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 identify improvement opportunities. The principles are included in the IGO Code of Conduct and integrated into our policies and standards. 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 Managing Director & CEO, Peter Bradford, is a committee member, after being a strong advocate of the organisation since 2018. We view innovation as a catalyst for sustainability and the acceleration of a clean energy future. IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021— 27
