Responsible stewardship, which encompasses environmental stewardship, is critical to our long-term business sustainability. This applies to our business resilience in the face of environmental and corresponding financial risks, and to our objective of leaving a lasting positive legacy.
Key areas of focus include managing our water supply when water is scarce, understanding and minimising our biodiversity impacts, and reducing our air and carbon emissions to meet our decarbonisation transition pathway.
Our strategy is proactive and responsive, enabling us to improve our environmental performance by:
Meeting environmental plan targets
Prioritising responsible management, conservation and recycling of water resources
Responsible water use contributes to our self-sufficiency, minimises water wastage, saves costs and ultimately reduces our environmental impact and reliance on municipal water systems.
We recognise the potential harm to our people, communities and the environment presented by tailings failure, waste and pollutants, and understand the imperative to mitigate these risks.
Recognising that our mining activities contribute to air pollution, we implement mitigation measures that safeguard the environment and our host communities.
Our approach is guided by our environmental management and stewardship policy, set out in Harmony’s sustainable development framework, and underpinned by specific commitments.
