MATERIAL ISSUES

Around 40,000 employees are exposed to noise levels that required the use of PPE to prevent harm. Our occupational hygiene programmes are focused on controlling the hazard at source so that the use of PPE is limited as far as possible.

HIV counselling and testing has increased, reaching more than 100,000 people in 2014, along with participation in HIV wellness programmes. But we continue to record new cases of HIV. Our aim is zero.

We are working to develop a more democratic and transparent industrial relations climate in South Africa following the five-month strike in the platinum industry in 2014.

We are well on track to achieving our water, energy and greenhouse gas reduction targets.

We have reduced the number of repeat water incidents considerably. However, we recorded one Level 4 (high impact) incident in 2014. Our priority is to improve incident reporting and investigation so that we can learn from incidents and prevent repeats.

69% of operational water savings are now met by recycled/re-used water. Our long term goal is 80% through the application of advanced technology.

Through the implementation of our new Operating Model, operations are achieving more consistent results. Work planned in that way is also significantly safer and results in fewer environmental incidents.

New, integrated, enterprise development programmes in Botswana, Brazil and Peru supported 1,588 jobs in 2014, and aim to support 10,000 jobs by the end of 2016.

Leveraging our supply chain to support local businesses is important to us. In 2014, our expenditure with suppliers based in the communities close to our operations rose to $1.7 billion.
