Geoffrey Qhena: Chairperson

Geoffrey Qhena Chairperson

When I was appointed to Exxaro's board on 19 April 2021, I joined a visionary company with a board dedicated to powering better lives in Africa and beyond. I thank my predecessor, Jeff van Rooyen, for the governance tone and framework he established, and look forward to working with my fellow board members who are committed to sharing their knowledge, skills and experience for the sustainability of the business.

Read chairperson's statement

Using environmental stewardship principles to guide our business strategies, will strengthen our organisational resilience while ensuring a positive co-existence relationship with the natural environment.

Acknowledging the role the mining industry plays in our fragile ecosystem, we continue making progress in reducing our overall environmental impact, strengthening our organisational resilience and creating environmental smart future mining opportunities for sustainable growth.

Everything we do today ensures a safer and more productive tomorrow.

Our sustainability is built on mutually beneficial relationships and the values we share with our stakeholders. As such, we conduct our business activities in a way that promotes development and success for us and our stakeholders, ensuring we have a holistic, positive and lasting impact on our people, communities and society at large.

SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions) seeks to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, to provide access for all, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions – from small companies to multinationals and governments. The Exxaro board is committed to contributing positively to achieving this goal, especially through good governance.
