WESSA is an integral part of the international environmental community: In addition to being the appointed operator in South Africa for five FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) programmes, we are a founder member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and, as a UNESCO partner, we are supporting education for sustainable development across the southern African region. We are a membership-supported organisation and activate a wide range of local conservation initiatives for the environment through our membership network of branches or friends groups. It is due to the efforts and strong leadership within our membership that we have been a motivating force behind many of South Africa's most significant environmental actions, and we continue to work to promote effective environmental governance through participating in the development of legislation and supporting compliance.

3.5 Thriving Communities

The quality of public schooling is often poor in our host communities, and often below average given that the best schools tend to be in urban rather than rural areas. Poor schooling in turn leads to unemployment and low productivity occupations and associated social ills. Low levels of educational attainment also create challenges in recruiting locally, a problem that will be exacerbated as new mining technologies are deployed, which will typically require higher skills levels than are currently required. Anglo American already invests considerable sums in education in host communities, although this has traditionally focused on infrastructure projects. There focus going forward is to focus on capacity development of schools. 3.5 WESSA’s Expertise in developing thriving communities WESSA is currently offering the following projects, programmes and training interventions to communities or schools in South Africa: ✓ WESSA STEM, e-STEAM and STEAMAC Education Programmes developing skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. ✓ WESSA Eco-Schools, LEAF ( Learning about forests ); YRE ( Young Reporters for the Environment ) and Sustainable Schools in Rural communities Schools Programmes ✓ WESSA Education and Training programmes focusing on: ✓ Biodiversity Stewardship, Resource Guardianship, Environmental Practices and Environmental Management Practices ✓ Tourism Guiding, Sustainable Tourism Initiatives and Small Business Development Guidance and Mentorship ✓ Renewable Energy Resource Skills Training, and Climate Change Mitigation skills development. ✓ Waste Management, Water Management and Resource Management. ✓ New Ventures Training, SMME Development and Entrepreneurship empowerment. ✓ Leadership and Team-building programmes and courses ✓ WESSA Youth Empowerment Programmes focusing on Volunteering, Exchanges, Internships, Mentorships and Work Integrated Learning Programmes.

WESSA Sishen Education Centre

3.5.1 Sishen Education – WESSA Services WESSA has extensive knowledge and experience in working with local previously-disadvantaged schools in the South African context. We have been based in the Northern Cape since 2009 and have worked with close to 100 schools both in the John Taolo Gaetsewe and further afield. The WESSA Sishen Education Centre has been operational since June, 2018, and has engaged with over 10 000 individuals already, through programmes ranging from curriculum-based research camps to personal development programmes in partnership with the Department of Social Development, to community clean-ups and awareness programmes in partnership with corporates, the local municipality and other NGOs. WESSA can play a key role in working alongside Anglo Sishen to role out their Education Programmes and contribute to Thriving Communities, through three key WESSA Units, as shown alongside, and described in the following slides.

3.6 Thriving Communities – Health & Well-being Healthcare is a complex sector to intervene in, not least because of important public sector involvement and the lack of capacity in local public health systems in many of the communities where we operate. Health outcomes are a primary concern for host communities. Failing to provide good healthcare in early years can have lifelong consequences on health, well-being and employability. Therefore, ‘health and well- being’ constitutes one of the key stretch goals of the Sustainable mining plan. The ambition is to ensure residents in host communities meet the SDG 3 health outcome targets. This target will aim to have an impact on quality of lives of the host communities near our operations by ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages. This target will be of particular value for stakeholder management as it allows us to develop better relationships with host communities, local authorities and governments. In addition, it allows us to mitigate various community risks and potent ial recruitment risks, among others.

3.6.1 Sishen Health and Well Being – WESSA Services

• Through the WESSA Outreach and Schools teams, the following Health Awareness Programmes can be rolled out in the JTG Area using the WESSA Education Platforms: • Personal hygiene activities and habits – practical lessons for students of all ages. • COVID-19 – the science behind the virus and the risk of ZOONOSIS • The Wildlife Trade and the risks associated with it

3.7 Thriving Communities - Livelihoods Anglo American operations are often located in remote areas with limited alternative economic activities and employment opportunities and high levels of unemployment. Lack of employment opportunities is one of the primary concerns expressed by most host communities and there are high expectations amongst host communities for employment at Anglo American operations which can be a source of community unrest. We will seek to ensure residents in host communities will have access to employment opportunities that will allow them to improve their standard of living and their livelihoods. 3.7.1 Sishen Livelihoods Focus of the livelihoods work for 2020 is to verify the offsite jobs supported baseline, and to identify opportunities in existing processes to maximise creation of jobs offsite. A livelihoods development plan is to be developed by end of 2020, to meet the 2025 and 2030 jobs supported targets. 3.7.1 Sishen Livelihoods - WESSA Services WESSA is using the WESSA Sishen Education Centre as a platform to create jobs both for the centre itself, and for the support services required to operate the centre and the Sishen Nature Reserve. The centre and the Sishen Nature Reserve will require skilled people to fill positions as Education Guides, Hospitality Staff, Operations Staff and Reserve Staff. WESSA has extensive experience in both Government and Privately-funded Job Creation Programmes that focus on Work-Integrated-Learning, incorporating: - Accredited and non-accredited training programmes delivered by the WESSA Work Skills Unit. We are registered as an accredited training provider with the ETDPSETA, LGSETA, CATHSSETA, FP&MSETA and SERVICESETA, along with the QCTO. - The delivery of the New Ventures Training SETA, focusing on equipping youth with the necessary skills and knowledge to develop small businesses. - On-site and on the job learning and training, delivered by WESSA in partnership with host organisations identified for specific requirement. - Project management skills, Payroll and HR capabilities, Mentoring and Exiting mentoring and a large wealth of support services for successful project implementation.

3.8 Thriving Communities - Biodiversity Biodiversity is a core strategic risk for Anglo American as access to land needed to explore and mine for new resources is becoming more constrained. Society’s expectations of company performance, reputation and responsibilities are increasing. The disturbance f ootprint of mining is often significantly smaller than other commercial land uses (e.g. agriculture, forestry etc.). However, unique geology comprising valuable mineral deposits often underlies assemblages of threatened and/or irreplaceable biodiversity potentially bringing mining and biodiversity conservation activities into conflict. While mining is generally regarded as having a negative impact on biodiversity there are numerous examples where mining has delivered positive outcomes through investment in biodiversity stewardship. In addition to proactively managing its disturbance footprint Anglo American has an opportunity to make a positive contribution to biodiversity through the active stewardship of managed land. Anglo American strives to be recognised as a biodiversity leader in the mining sector. It will achieve this through a NPI approach including proactive stewardship and strengthened accountability and transparency to its stakeholders 3.8.1 Sishen - Biodiversity Two farms in the region, equating to 4700ha, have been proclaimed as a provincial nature reserve. There is a potential to expand this reserve and further develop the potential of conservation for future eco-tourism opportunities. As biodiversity does not follow mine borders, it will be necessary to take a regional look at biodiversity in order to meet NPI. The biodiversity assessment and NPi target setting will therefore be done at a regional level, and a management plan will be developed that will likely include responsibilities and actions of which some will fall under Site, and some may fall under the BU. Closer collaboration with Kolomela is recommended to maximise the opportunities on a regional scale.

•WESSA’s programme Stop the Spread has a long history of supporting invasive alien clearing programmes nationally with implementation, accredited training, best practice control methods, and the formation of small business enterprises. •WESSA Published “ Invasive Alien Plants in Kwazulu-Natal – Management and Control ” in 2008. • Since 2014 WESSA has implemented training nationally for Department of Environmental Affairs : Natural Resource Management Programmes (e.g. Working for Water). WESSA has significant experience of working with the Working for Water (WFW) Contractors. We have supported their training needs from essential training such as OSH, Herbicide Applicator, chainsaw operations and SMME development. This has included how to contract for work outside of the WFW programme. • WESSA implemented the eThekwini Municipality’s Working for Ecosystem Programme . This programme saw conservation areas of the municipality cleared of alien and encroaching vegetation and thereby rehabilitated. The programme success was also attributed to the number of small enterprises which were developed and supported and now are able to contract their services directly to the municipality, the province and the private sector. • WESSA implemented on behalf of Sappi a programme to support compliance at 3 mill sites in KZN and to develop the teams to form 2 SMME’s who would continue working independently of WESSA after 2 years.

WESSA INVASIVE ALIEN PLANT REMOVAL PROGRAMME

WESSA INVASIVE ALIEN PLANT PROGRAMME EXPERIENCE

WESSA have proudly implemented skills training & capacity building programmes nationally for DEA’s NRM Programmes (e.g. Working for Water, Working for Wetlands etc) since 2014. the annual budget for this programme implementation is R25m per annum. The NRM Programme model sees contractors in all provinces each employing teams of 11 people to implement NRM programme operations. In 2015 DEA required that all the previous cooperative teams be formalised as (PTY) LTD’s. At this time the contractors were supported by DEA Area Managers to register their entities, but very few received any form of additional support, mentoring or training. As a result their businesses did not all grow and develop beyond this particular working opportunity.

WESSA has been fortunate to assist in non-accredited training to many of the contractor entities in KZN , MP and LP to the benefit of their operations.

eThekwini Municipality’s Working for Ecosystems was implemented by WESSA from 2007. A similar contractor model as NRM Programmes was required. WESSA’s Contractor Support was significant and saw contractors being mentored to successfully bid for work throughout KZN.

This WFE programme has not been operational in 2019, but all contractors have successfully managed to continue to grow and diversify their businesses.

WESSA and these individuals believe that this is directly related to the expert support and networking opportunities they received while on the WFE programme .

WESSA INVASIVE ALIEN PLANT PROGRAMME METHEDOLOGIES

IAP Control Methods : Control methods will be best practice control methods, and aligned to the Department of Environmental Affairs - Working for Water standard operating procedures. Mechanical control methods are used predominantly. When chemical control methods are utilized, it is important to note that WESSA does not make use of any herbicide which requires the use of diesel. WESSA only makes use of spray bottles 2L and smaller for spot spraying of herbicide. Knapsacks will only be used in exceptional circumstances. All herbicide usage will be compliant in terms of Fertilizers, Farm Feeds, Seeds and Remedies Act 36 of 1947 , and guidelines set by Department of Environmental Affairs.

A full operational / implementation plan can only be developed once WESSA has access to identified site management plans, IAP site audit information and site access.

3.9 Healthy Environment - Energy and Climate Change Anglo American’s vision is to operate carbon neutral mines, and the company has taken decisive steps for more than a decade to contribute to global effort to reduce emissions while continuing to provide the materials that modern life requires. The 2030 targets address a core strategic risk for Anglo American responding to modern society’s expectations and taking an important role to avoid costs increasing in the next coming years by reducing our emissions and improving our energy efficiency. Low energy carbon neutral aspirations are becoming feasible with renewables and radical efficiency technologies becoming commercially attractive/available. New energy solutions also allow for greater energy security and provide community benefit opportunities. 3.9.1 Sishen Energy and Climate Change – WESSA Services • WESSA Sishen Education Centre & WESSA Schools Programme : We can offer curriculum-linked education programmes that upskill Primary and High School students in both Climate Change knowledge and awareness, and Renewable Energy resources.

3.10 Healthy Environment – Water Today, 80% of AA operating sites, including both Kumba’s sites, are already in water scarce regions. Modelling indicates inc reasing weather volatility (more droughts / more floods) associated with climate change – that will likely further expand and exacerbate existing water scarce regions. At present any material disruption to the availability of water at our operating sites in water scarce regions risks directly impacting production with associated significant financial implications. Furthermore, water scarce regions also present challenges to community water supply. Disruptions in community water availability risks conflict and/or a loss of socio-political licence to operate for industrial water uses that are (or are perceived to be) using or ‘taking’ community water. By driving to achieve a step change reduction in freshwater abstraction, and ultimately decoupli ng mining production from off-site freshwater abstraction, AA sites can significantly reduce the risk associated with water security of supply. The 2020 targets intend to drive improvement in water efficiency. The 2030 targets will require a more regional approach as well as fundamental change in how we operate. 3.10.1 Sishen Water – WESSA Services • Through the WESSA Education and Training Platforms , we are able to offer support services to Anglo Sishen in the Energy and Climate Change Section through the following programmes and interventions: • WESSA Sishen Education Centre & WESSA Schools Programme : We can offer curriculum-linked education programmes that upskill Primary and High School students in Water Harvesting, Water Sustainability and Water Testing.

4. Critical Foundations Critical foundations are the common and minimum requirements for each of Anglo American’s operations and business as a whole. Critical foundations are requirements that are not inherently transformational. Indeed, they are requirements which should be seen as “business as usual” where good performance is the basic expectation of any responsible business. Solid performance in these areas is essential to the long-term credibility and success of the sustainable mining plan. Six critical foundations were identified as the backbone of the Sustainability approach. These were: • Leadership • Safety • Human rights • Diversity and inclusion • Compliance with legal requirements • Implementation of core Anglo American standards and business processes For all these areas, initiatives and programmes are already in place. In the Sustainability plan, the intention is to refer to these existing programmes. 4.1 Leadership & Culture – WESSA Services WESSA Sishen Education Centre is able to offer both Leadership and Team-building programmes to different Mine Teams and Community Groups, focusing on practical on-site activities and discussions, that explore teamwork, leadership skills, delegation, flexibility, creativity and problem-solving. 4.3 Human Rights – WESSA Services WESSA Sishen Education Centre & the WESSA Youth Teams are able to support Anglo Sishen with arranging and operating Special Day events for the mine and the local communities, focusing on the celebration and protection of Human Right’s. Some examples of these are: • The United Nations Human Rights Day Events, and other UN Special Day Events. • South Africa’s Human Rights Day • Mandela Day
