EXXARO EMPLOYEES RAISE THEIR VOICE IN MOVEMENT TO STOP GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE.

Statistically recorded, in times of crisis violence against women and girls increases, which explains the heightened rates of reported violence in the past few months in South Africa and around the world. According to the United Nations Population Fund, every three months of lockdown around the world during the global pandemic may have resulted in 15 million more cases of domestic violence than would typically be expected. In South Africa, one in three women experience domestic violence, and the rate of femicide (the killing of a woman by her intimate partner) is five times higher than the global average. In response to this, the Minerals Council South Africa

Covid-19 testing hits 100 mark at exxaro’s private labs

Proactive management of employee health and safety has been elevated to a new normal due to COVID-19. In South Africa, as previously suspected, the national COVID-19 testing capacity in both the public and private sector has come under severe strain as the pandemic progresses across the country. In response, Exxaro has invested in opportunities to increase the private testing capacity by setting-up two (2) COVID-19 PCR testing laboratories, one at Grootegeluk Mine’s Marapong occupational health facility in Lephalale, Limpopo; and the other at Matla Coal Mine’s occupational health centre in Kriel, Mpumalanga. These laboratories will be used for testing employees free of charge (as the company will cover the costs). In the event of an active case, isolation, and quarantine facilities

EMPOWERING WOMEN TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE BEYOND 2020

In the wake of the global pandemic, a murky ‘shadow pandemic’ has emerged from which no country is immune. Violence and abuse against women and girls have been intensified by security, health and financial concerns, and compounded by the lockdown measures in many countries. President Cyril Ramaphosa faced the ugly truth when he stated, “As a country, we find ourselves in the midst of not one, but two, devastating pandemics. Although very different in their nature and cause, they can both be overcome – if we work together, if we each take personal responsibility for our action and if we each take care of each other.” As the number of Covid-19 infections rises in South Africa, the impact on women is becoming more obvious.

EXXARO EMPOWERS BLACK-OWNED FARMING BUSINESSES IN STRATHRAE WITH 2 282 HECTARES OF LAND

We are constantly looking at proactive solutions to challenges facing those in our host communities. However, for us to live up to this ideal – we have placed greater focus on investments that go beyond the traditional CSI model. As part of our future plans to continue powering possibility and to showcase our support of the country’s land redistribution policy, Exxaro has embarked on a minerals succession programme that maps the potential agri-economies in our communities. In 2019, for example, our land management goals for 2026 included transferring 90% of post-mining land to emerging farmers in local communities while creating strategic partnerships with farmers to advance these agri-economies.

EXXARO RESILIENT AMIDST TOUGH TRADING CONDITIONS

13 August 2020: Exxaro Resources Limited (Exxaro) – the black empowered diversified resources group - reported positively resilient results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020, a notable achievement in the face of global trade tensions, a challenging local economy and a decline in thermal coal pricing. Headwinds were compounded by the impact of COVID-19 during the period. Consolidated group revenue was up 18%, mainly due to 15% increase in coal revenue and the addition of clean energy revenue relating to Cennergi, contributing 100% from 1 April 2020. The coal revenue increase is attributable to higher volumes to Eskom as well as record export volumes. Core HEPS increased by 11% to 1 339 cents per share. Exxaro achieved its key strategic objective of zero fatalities reporting a Group

OVERCOMING GENDER INEQUALITY IS A PRIORITY AT EXXARO

While gender inequality in the workplace continues to be of concern in South Africa (and the rest of the world), businesses like Exxaro have been looking for ways to bridge the gap. In a male-dominated industry like mining, women have proven themselves to be just as competent and valuable - despite the industry-related stigma and stereotypes. At Exxaro, we know that giving more women a seat at the table is key to facilitating growth and innovation within the business. This has further encouraged the management team to find ways to bridge this gap and empower women to promote a more diverse and inclusive mining sector. I’m proud to say that Exxaro has been involved with some incredibly impactful initiatives targeted at empowering women.

EXXARO COVID-19 CRISIS MANAGEMENT

The mining sector has been exposed to numerous crises in various forms. From social unrest to earthquakes and disease outbreaks, the possibilities are endless. It is, therefore, important for mining companies to be disciplined when it comes to managing a crisis - as failure to properly execute an appropriate strategy can be dangerous and puts workers’ lives at risk. As one of the first sectors to be given the green light to operate at 50% capacity during our most recent crisis, the spotlight was on the mining industry to see how we managed to operate and mitigate the effects of the virus. By using our government's guidelines, Exxaro was able to make the necessary changes to adapt and evolve.
