HOW WE WILL DELIVER NET POSITIVE IMPACT & WHY IT MATTERS Warwick Mostert, Principal Biodiversity CONTENT • Purpose & Context • Global Environmental & Biodiversity Risks • Group Sustainability & Biodiversity Strategy • Aiming for Net Positive Impact • Partnerships • Looking forward, What to expect • Questions?

WHERE WE OPERATE Our operating assets OUR PURPOSE Re-imagine mining What mining could be and how we envisage mining in the future.
How we think differently and innovatively about mining and our entire value chain.

OUR PURPOSE to improve peoples lives A Purpose is about more than just the work we do and the profits we make, it’s about the impact we have on everything we touch.
GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS Environmental risks remain in the top 10 risks in terms of both impact and likelihood Top 10 risks in terms of LIKELIHOOD Top 10 risks in terms of IMPACT Categories ❶ Extreme weather events ❷ Natural Disasters ❸ Cyberattack ❹ Data fraud or theft ❶ Weapons of mass destruction ❷ Extreme weather events ❸ Natural disasters ❹ Failure of climate mitigation and adaption ❺ Failure of climate-change mitigation and adaption ❻ Large-scale involuntary migration ❼ Man-made environmental disasters ❺ Water crises ❻ Cyberattacks ❼ Food crises ❽ Terrorist attacks ❾ Illicit trade ❽ Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse ❾ Large-scale involuntary migration ❿ Asset bubbles in a major economy ❿ Spread of infectious diseases ● ● Economic Environmental ● Geopolitical ● ● Societal Technological World Economic Forum Global Risks Perception Survey 2017–2018.
The Report highlights ‘environmental risks continue to grow in prominence, with all five risks ranking higher than average for both likelihood and impact over a 10-year horizon’ MINING AND BIODIVERSITY Effective management of biodiversity and environmental risk • Challenge the way mining impacts the environment • Mining footprint often smaller than other land uses (e.g.

agriculture, forestry etc.)


• Unique geology = unique flora = unique feature = unique opportunity • Numerous examples of positive outcomes WHY IS BIODIVERSITY IMPORTANT FOR ANGLO AMERICAN?

Biodiversity is a core strategic risk • Reduced risk exposure (financial, regulatory and reputational) • Demand for responsibly mined products (e.g.
diamonds, copper, platinum) • Stakeholder trust • Reduced opposition • External critique, advocacy, support and assurance GROUP SUSTAINABILITY & BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY FRAMEWORK GROUP STRETCH GOALS SUSTAINABILITY PLANS THRIVING COMMUNITIES HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT Health & wellbeing Livelihoods Education Climate Change Biodiversity Water TRUSTED CORPORATE LEADER Ethical Value Chains Policy Advocacy Accountability REGIONAL SPATIAL ANALYSIS • Data driven & collaborative approach • Identify most pressing regional sustainability opportunities & threats 5 YEAR SUSTAINABILITY PLANS • All Sites & Key Group Functions • Flexible & integrated response to local priorities Leadership Zero Harm Human Rights Diversity & Inclusion Group Standards & Business Processes Compliances with legal requirements CRITICAL FOUNDATIONS BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY Deliver net positive impact (NPI) through implementing the mitigation hierarchy & investment in biodiversity stewardship AIMING FOR NET POSITIVE IMPACT MITIGATION HIERARCHY & NET POSITIVE IMPACT Additional conservation outcomes / Actions NET POSITIVE IMPACT Positive Contributions Potential impact Potential impact Potential impact Potential impact Residual impact not significant or Significant residual impact Offset Rehab Restoration Recovery Residual impact not significant NNL of significant biodiversity Minimise Minimise Avoid Avoid Avoid NPI/Biodiversity Value Assessment • Not to scale • Assessment can be retrospective/prospective • Document all steps taken in the mitigation hierarchy NET POSITIVE IMPACT & BIODIVERSITY STEWARDSHIP What do they mean?
Net Positive Impact …target demonstrating biodiversity gains exceed impact related losses for identified significant biodiversity features (e.g.
critical habitat, priority ecosystem service) Biodiversity Stewardship …responsible approach to effectively conserving biodiversity by: • Conserving critical habitat, threatened/endemic species, significant feature/s & priority ecosystem services • Collaborating with conservation authorities and NGOs • Contributing towards achieving protected area targets • Promoting biodiversity knowledge & building capacity ROADMAP TO NET POSITIVE IMPACT What can we measure/monitor to track NPI?
• Build biodiversity capacity & resources • Enabling rigorous application of Mitigation Hierarchy, NNL and above • Develop NPI methodology, conduct Biodiversity Value Assessments (BVA’s) • Develop and monitor site specific indicators to track progress • Formalise partnerships & collaborations • Align with planned, existing regional & national landscape initiatives REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS REGIONAL CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIPS Listen | Think | Compromise | Respect • Develop partnerships and collaborations to support the delivery of NPI • Regional spatial analysis aligned with landscape, & national initiatives • Focussed on significant feature/s & protection of threatened and/or endemic species • Focussed on planning & implementation in partnership with best practice and internal improvement DEVELOPMENT PARTNER FRAMEWORK New approach, new way of thinking • Resilient, diverse & competitive economy • Developed through collaboration & partnerships on development initiatives • Think beyond the ‘Life of Mine’ • Considers the social, economic & environmental legacy of the region in which we operate The framework talks to the scale of change required for us and the rest of the industry to succeed and prosper into the future LOOKING FORWARD: WHAT TO EXPECT FUTURESMART MINING™ A blueprint for the future of our business, what to expect • Innovate & change the way we operate & change perceptions • Transform how our stakeholders experience our business, locally & globally • Focus on collaboration & partnerships • Re-imagine mining to deliver positive biodiversity outcomes QUESTIONS?
