Since 2006, Petropavlovsk regularly publishes a report on its sustainability metrics as a means to keep our stakeholders informed on the Group’s performance across a broad range of environment, social and governance issues and to benchmark the Group’s progress in achieving our ESG goals.

The 2020 Sustainability Report was prepared in line with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Reporting Standards and independently assured by Wardell Armstrong International. It covers the main material sustainability topics addressed by the Group in 2020 and includes Petropavlovsk’s first annual Communication on Progress (CoP) to the UN Global Compact.

2020 Report Highlights

• Proactive and comprehensive response to COVID-19 ensured no material COVID-19 outbreaks within the Group and minimal disruption to operations in 2020
• Development of Health and Safety maturity matrix to improve performance measurement and to support a transition to reporting in line with the Bradley Curve
• Further strengthening of a highly-qualified Sustainability management team with appointments of a new Head of Health and Safety, Head of Environment and Head of Human Resources and People Development in 2021
• Continued reduction in carbon intensity by 7% in 2020 and further alignment with GHG Protocol, with a commitment to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and eliminate coal from business operations by 2030
