Implats Annual Integrated Report For the year ended 30 June 2023

As ESG performance becomes more prominent, institutional investors, asset managers, financial institutions and other stakeholders increasingly look at ESG factors when making investment and lending decisions – using them to measure and assess our exposure to ESG risks and our performance in mitigating those risks relative to our peers. Every rating agency has its own methodology to arrive at their scores, each of which can influence our reputation and access to capital. As a result, we benchmark our ESG performance against our peers who exhibit the global best practice expected by responsible investors.

Global ESG performance rating agencies evaluate our ESG performance using publicly available information (annual integrated reports, websites and media) in line with the JSE Listings Requirements. In 2024, we were again rated by FTSE Russell, MSCI, Sustainalytics, and S&P Global.

Implats is committed to building young leaders who drive innovation within the organisation to create a better future. In 2024, the Group identified two young female professionals to participate in the one-year global SDG Innovators programme presented by the United Nations Global Compact where participants had to identify opportunities within their organisation to advance the SDGs.

At a ceremony held on 8 August 2024, Implats' young leaders presented a paper titled ‘Bridging the communication gap in the workplace’ outlining ways in which Implats can improve its internal communication and engagement in order to reduce workplace inequalities in accessing useful company information and foster social cohesion, in line with SDG 4, SDG 9, and SDG 10 (specifically SDG 10.2, SDG 10.3). The recommendations put forward are currently being considered for implementation.

Implats would like to thank the two participants for proudly representing Implats on a global stage. We are excited to take part in the SDG Innovators programme in 2025.
