At IGO, the health, safety and wellbeing of our people, their families, and the communities in which we operate is our highest priority. In response to the pandemic, we implemented a range of measures to safeguard our people, protect our ability to operate, and minimise the spread of COVID-19 in the communities closest to our operations. IGO and our people have demonstrated great resilience during this time, and we remain alert to the risks. Internal, External Page 37 Protecting cultural heritage We respect Aboriginal people, culture and the connection to Country. We manage our exploration and mining operations carefully and collaboratively to mitigate any impacts we may have on cultural sites. Our activities are subject to both Aboriginal heritage laws and heritage agreements with the Traditional Owners. Respecting and protecting cultural heritage values and sites jointly with Traditional Owners contributes to the quality of our relationships and future growth prospects. Internal, External Page 44 Industry skill shortages & tightening labour market The mining industry’s contribution to Australian innovation and growth depends upon high-value, high-skill and high-reward jobs in a diversity of professions, including engineers, environmental scientists, geologists, geophysicists and financial professionals. We have an ongoing requirement to ensure that a supply of skilled workers enter, and remain in, the industry. IGO are committed to providing opportunities to develop future generations in our industry and organisation. We will continue to focus on future graduates and school students, encouraging them to pursue STEM career pathways and promoting opportunities in mining to mitigate future skill shortage risks.
