Environmental, social and governance report for the year ended 31 December 2024 

About this report

Our ESG report provides a holistic and transparent view of our ESG approach and performance during the year, and what we aim to achieve in future to address challenges and leverage opportunities.

Reporting scope and boundary

How we determine information to disclose

Our double materiality determination process underpins how we distinguish the information to be included in our reporting suite by identifying matters that affect enterprise value (financial materiality) and those that impact the environment, communities and society (impact materiality). Recognising that sustainability matters can shift between these lenses, we conduct an annual assessment to reflect these changes in our reporting suite.

How we determine information to disclose
Defining short, medium and long term

Short term

Between one and five years

Medium term

Between six and 10 years

Long term

More than 10 years

Responding to the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)

Exxaro complies with all relevant legislation and financial reporting frameworks while closely monitoring advancements in sustainability reporting. Exxaro fully supports the voluntary adoption of IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, which were effective from 1 January 2024. These standards seek to provide a globally consistent and transparent framework, enabling businesses to disclose sustainability-related risks and opportunities comparably.

We are actively engaging with relevant industry bodies and monitoring ongoing government discussions regarding the potential implications of adopting the new sustainability standards for businesses in South Africa. While we are refining our approach, our immediate priority in 2024 was to develop our decarbonisation roadmap, which aligns with our broader sustainability commitments.

We recognise the integration of the TCFD into the ISSB's monitoring responsibilities and support the collaboration between the ISSB and the GRI to ensure complementary standards.

Assurance

We apply a combined assurance model to support the integrity of information used in decision making and external reporting.
