The 2021 Top Employers have been announced and diversified resources company Exxaro, has been recognised as a Top Employer in South Africa. Being certified as a Top Employer reflects the mining organisation’s dedication to a better world of work, exhibiting this through excellent human resources policies and people practices. This is the second time Exxaro has received the honour, with its first Top Employer recognition in 2014. The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey. This survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics, including people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning, well-being, diversity and inclusion, and more. Established 30 years ago and headquartered in the Netherlands, the Top Employers Institute has certified over 1 600 organisations in 120 regions across five continents. These certified Top Employers positively impact the lives of over seven million employees globally. The prestigious global achievement is a testament to Exxaro’s commitment to providing the very best workplace environment for its employees to thrive, both personally and professionally. As a people-first organisation with progressive, diverse and inclusive HR practices, Exxaro proudly leads the way in the development of its people, setting an example in the mining industry, country and continent. “Despite the challenging year we have experienced (which has certainly made an impact on organisations around the globe), Exxaro has continued to demonstrate the power of putting their people first in the workplace. We are proud to share this year’s announcement and congratulate the organisations who have been certified in their respective countries through the Top Employers Institute programme,” said Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink.
ExxaroOur Climate Change Response Strategy is integral to our Sustainable Growth and Impact strategy and objectives as we understand that these elements of our business and operating environment are deeply connected. Our strategic response is also guided by our purpose of powering better lives in Africa and beyond. We believe our greatest opportunity is to help steer South Africa towards a sustainable future through undiluted focus on low-carbon minerals and energy. Our existing coal business portfolio will continue to remain relevant and central to our transition journey. South African government has outlined the energy transition of the country in the Integrated Resource Plan 2030. As the largest supplier of coal to Eskom we have the national responsibility to ensure that we continue to provide quality coal to Eskom during the energy transition process contained in the IRP-2030. We also recognise the risk of stranded assets due to transitional and physical risks of climate change that may make it difficult for our business to operate. To mitigate this risk we have implemented the Early value strategy that will optimise our coal resources to focus on realising maximum value in the shortest period. Climate change does not only present our business with risks, we are leveraging the opportunities presented by the transition to low carbon world. We are committed to meeting our target of being carbon neutral by 2050 by consistently reducing our direct emissions. We also have a responsibility to partner with our suppliers and customers in an effort to reduce our indirect emissions. Our metrics and targets will ensure we have visibility in our progress towards achieving this target and making our business climate-proof.
