IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022— 23 A sustainable business is resilient, purposeful, agile and competitive. It looks beyond compliance and integrates a sustainability framework into all aspects of the business and value chain. Mining must play its part in addressing the environmental challenges of a carbon-constrained world and the expectations of society on us to create shared value and enable change, all while continuing to meet the evergrowing demand for our products. Decarbonisation is an urgent priority for us and the world. Recognising the threats posed by climate change, we believe the prospects of a low carbon future will result in substantial increase in the demand for metals required to enable clean energy technologies. At IGO, sustainability is the foundation of what we do; it is incorporated into all aspects of our business. To fulfill IGO’s purpose, we continually review the way we conduct our business as well as the long-term sustainability of our business operations. We pursue improvements and opportunities for growth to enable us to generate returns for our shareholders and explore ways to share the benefits our business creates. Wherever possible our approach is to manage the impacts associated with our activities on people, communities and the environment in which we operate. We continue to look for more responsible ways to conduct our business. IGO’s pathway to sustainable development is maturing as we integrate consideration of environmental, social, governance (ESG) and economic aspects across IGO’s strategy. We are increasing the disclosure of our sustainability performance throughout the year and continue to report our direct economic, tax and corporate giving contributions. Our approach to sustainability is driven by IGO’s sustainability framework, alignment with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our purpose of Making a Difference, our strategy to deliver a green energy future, and our desire to do the right thing. 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 identifying improvement opportunities. The principles are integrated into our policies and standards. OurApproach toSustainability
