Health and wellbeing Occupational health We aim to ensure everyone goes home safe and healthy every day. In 2024, we recorded 147 new occupational health illnesses (2023: 103 ), reflecting our increased focus on identifying, investigating and preventing health conditions arising directly from work. Many occupational illnesses develop over a long and continuous period, requiring sustained efforts to reduce exposure reduction over time. In 2024 we: – Completed occupational and industrial hygiene monitoring at our operational and managed assets, assessing noise, airborne particulates, gas and other contaminants. These insights provide valuable insights into our exposure profile and help us to prioritise actions to ensure effective controls are in place. – Redesigned fit-for-purpose medical assessments at our Australia-based operations, with a plan to expand to our assets across the rest of the world in 2025. – Continued to standardise how occupational health and hygiene data is digitally collected and accessed, transitioning from manual to more secure and streamlined digital collection processes that deliver improved risks and trends insights to support our health management initiatives. – Implemented 7 projects at 6 assets to successfully reduce exposures to known health risks for our employees and contractors.

Mental health and wellbeing Mental health is a core part of our health and safety culture, with a responsibility to support all aspects of our people’s wellbeing. We pay particular attention to creating a psychologically healthy and safe work environment, while providing support to our people for their mental health needs, wherever they may arise. In 2024 we: – Conducted an increasing number of psychosocial risk assessments and provided leader training to better address psychosocial hazards in the workplace and improve the experience of work for our people. – Supported the principles of good work for worker wellbeing through our People Experience programs, such as improving inclusion and diversity, providing fair pay and flexible work, consulting and communicating with our people, and supporting career progression and job adjustments over the employee lifecycle. –
