Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of Harmony shared the following:
“As we reflect on the past financial year, the resilience and determination shown
throughout the company ensured we achieved our strategic objectives of operational
excellence, responsible stewardship, cash certainty and effective capital
allocation, and delivered stellar full-year results. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic
has been unprecedented, yet we have adapted to a changed environment. The
successful acquisition and integration of Mponeng and related assets are
reflecting in our results demonstrating how we have further transformed our
earnings profile by acquiring high-grade assets while delivering on our strategy
of safe, profitable ounces and increasing margins. We have re-engineered our
portfolio and deleveraged our balance sheet to give us optionality while investing
in our stakeholders and our future.
As the largest gold producer in South Africa by volume, we embrace our moral
obligation to ensure the wellbeing and safety of our people, along with the belief
that the value created by our operations extends to all stakeholders and
shareholders. We have proven this in South Africa and Papua New Guinea through
the effective allocation of capital, continued operational optimisation and
productivity enhancements across our portfolio.
Harmony is more than just mining; we are about people. The actions we take today
are the foundations of tomorrow. We have an exciting investment case with our
world-class pipeline of projects and embedded approach to ESG. We are committed
to creating opportunities through sustainable mining, while creating value and
delivering positive returns for all our shareholders and stakeholders.”
The company wishes to notify shareholders of its Broad Based Black Economic
Empowerment report included on pages 136 and 137 in its ESG Report 2021. Harmony
remains a company committed to the transformation agenda in South Africa. In
compliance with Section 13G (2) of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment
