Royal Bafokeng Platinum included on the JSE’s SRI index


RBPlat is pleased to announce that it has, for the first time, qualified for inclusion on
the JSE’s Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Index. The SRI Index is an important tool for the
advancement of sustainability and corporate responsibility in South Africa.


Annually, the JSE applies a comprehensive set of criteria to produce its SRI Index, which tracks
the sustainability performance of companies listed on the JSE. This year the criteria included:


-      environmental issues including policy, management and reporting;
-      employee issues including training and development, employee relations, equal
       opportunities, health and safety, HIV/Aids;
-      social issues such as black economic empowerment, community involvement,
       stakeholder engagement and reporting; and
-      governance issues including board practice, codes of ethics, risk management, global
       economic issues and governance reporting.


Steve Phiri, RBPlat’s Chief Executive Officer, expressed his gratitude at being included on the
index. ”Sustainable development is of particular importance to RBPlat, and in line with our ‘more
than mining’ philosophy. We seek opportunities that create intrinsic value for our stakeholders,
empowering them to pursue greater objectives for themselves. Our inclusion on the SRI Index is
testament to the progress we have made in achieving this goal. For this, I would like to
congratulate my team who has worked hard to get the company where it is today.”
