IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020

Responding to COVID-19 In addition, and in line with our commitment to Corporate Giving, IGO made some important contributions to several local communities which had been impacted severely by the pandemic. These included: • a Community Fund for the Shire of Esperance and the Shire of Dundas, in which IGO pledged $250,000 to support their ongoing COVID-19 and bushfire recovery plans; • becoming a founding donor of The Royal Flying Doctor Service of WA with their Response Ready for WA appeal; • donating essential hygiene supplies to the Ngadju Rangers for distribution to Ngadju Elders and community members in Norseman; and • providing funding to the Earbus Foundation of WA to support their distribution of basic hygiene supplies to the local communities they visited. Ensuring business continuity The mining industry has played an important role in providing economic stability for Australia during this crisis and we feel privileged to be able to continue our important work. Critical to this were the changes we made to limit the risks to our people and our operations. These included: • site travel restrictions and pre-flight health screenings; • temporary changes to operational rosters to minimise crew changes and interactions; • encouraging remote working, with the provision of IT equipment to set up workstations at home; • enabling physical distancing on site through additional charter flights and bus transport, meeting structures and changes to some services/processes at the accommodation village; • establishing on-site quarantine and testing capacity; and • increasing staffing levels for key roles. The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue for some time, and IGO remains alert to the risks to our people, operations, and our communities. The health and safety measures we have implemented are continuously reviewed and, if necessary, updated in response to the changing community risk profile as well as government directives and guidelines. To date, our response to the pandemic has been successful, and this is a credit to the collaborative effort of all at IGO. In response to the pandemic, we implemented a range of measures to safeguard our people, protect our ability to operate and to minimise the spread of COVID-19 within the communities closest to our operations. IGO was proud to be one of the first movers in the industry to introduce protective measures for our people and community. We moved swiftly and implemented tighter controls earlier, ensuring we were well prepared and equipped to deal with the effects of COVID-19. In February 2020, we established a multidisciplinary emergency response team with the purpose of implementing a methodical and integrated approach to: • safeguard the health of people in our business and community; • be attuned to broader efforts aimed at slowing the rate of infection; and • ensure business continuity to sustain economic activity for our stakeholders. Welfare of our people Throughout the crisis, the welfare of our people remained our highest priority. We acknowledged this was a stressful and uncertain period and implemented a range of measures to support our people and their families. Staying connected to our people was extremely important, and we communicated regularly on the measures being taken to prevent the spread of infection, the importance of strict hygiene, social distancing requirements and the support available to them. Some of our key protective and support measures included: • operational changes to enable physical distancing and remote working; • specific mental health support through expanded employee assistance programs, a COVID-19 Mental Health Plan, and new ‘Working from Home, Working Alone’ resources. Read more on page 50; • establishing a COVID-19 Health Hotline and Information Hub; • introduction of a new COVID-19 leave category, offering an additional 20 days leave to people directly impacted by COVID-19; and • increasing levels of communication between leaders and their teams to assist with team morale, connection and engagement within the business. Protecting and supporting our communities IGO is focused on playing our part to minimise the risk to the health of the broader community, while also providing economic support to local organisations. While our Nova Operation and exploration activities around Nova and the Fraser Range continued as planned, IGO suspended all exploration activities at our projects in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and Lake Mackay in the Northern Territory, to protect the health of the residents of these remote communities. The COVID-19 global pandemic has profoundly impacted the lives of people around the world. At IGO, the health and safety of our people, their families, and the communities in which we operate is our highest priority. 46 — IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020 IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020— 47 RESPONSIBLE OPERATIONS
