INDEPENDENCE GROUP NL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018

MORE THAN GENDER Driving greater diversity in our business is not only about achieving improvements in gender ratios. In FY18, we continued to actively support the employment of Aboriginal people and made progress with the creation of additional employment, education and business opportunities for the people who are Traditional Owners on the lands on which IGO operates. We are proud to note that, in the last 12 months IGO has: • sponsored a Ngadju student to complete a bridging course to enable them to study geology • supported three Ngadju apprenticeships • employed our first female, Aboriginal apprentice at Nova • introduced Ngadju cross- cultural awareness workshops at Nova. To build on our existing Aboriginal workforce (about 3% of our direct employee population) in FY19, we will introduce a number of traineeships at the Nova Operation to support Aboriginal entry into the mining industry across a variety of disciplines. The program will provide structured support and training for Aboriginal people in roles with both IGO and our major contractors. Contributing to our positive results has been the continuation of a range of existing programs and the introduction of a number of new programs specifically designed to continue the evolution of a truly diverse workforce. In FY18 this included the following initiatives: 35 30 25 20 15 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 Percentage (%) FIGURE 15 FEMALE PARTICIPATION RATE Measurable Criteria Target Percentage of women employed within the entire Company.
