We will deliver on our commitment to nature stewardship: by leaving net positive benefit to land, air, water, and nature and keeping materials in circulation and to climate action: through low-emission materials, green and battery metals and operating sites that are climate resilient and net zero.

supporting a holistic approach to water as a resource
The group plays a vital role in delivering future-facing metals that power clean energy and drive global progress. We’re uniquely positioned to supply these metals responsibly — through primary mining, secondary mining, and recycling — embracing the circular economy and building partnerships across the value chain. We are also committed to limiting our impact on the environment though the way we operate.
Sibanye-Stillwater is a dedicated partner in the transition to a low-carbon future, given that we invest in green metals; these are metals needed for renewable energy (solar and wind), batteries, and hydrogen.
To develop a climate-resilient business, sustainability is integrated into the business strategy; and to support its execution and delivery, sustainability framework focuses on commitments supported by 2030 and 2050 targets.
The following sustainability Planet indicators are linked to the 2026 long-term incentive (LTI) performance conditions:
- Limit GHG emissions (scope 1 and 2)
- GWh saved through demand-side management
- Reduce total water purchased
- Improvement of performance score of baseline water assessments completed in 2025
- To reduce the TSF risks by closing the actionable recommendations
