Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of Harmony shared the Company’s approach to compiling the suite of reports for FY20: “For the past 70 years Harmony has, more than any other gold mining company in South Africa, demonstrated true sustainability. From our enduring history, to the product we mine and the way in which it is mined, to the care we take to preserve the environment and the support we provide to our communities, Harmony has illustrated, time and again, that sustainability is the driving force of our business. We felt that it was important to highlight our contribution by selecting ‘Sustainable Gold’ as our theme. Sustainable Gold refers not only to the longevity of operations, but also the way in which we are able to turn our assets to account by extracting the maximum value over a longer life-of-mine. It also refers to the unquestioned enduring value of the product we mine and the role we play as a responsible corporate citizen”.
In our aim to provide consistent and transparent information to global markets, we have decided to introduce a TCFD report as part of our suite of reports for FY20. We believe that, as a listed entity, it is our social responsibility to disclose our financial risks and opportunities associated with climate-change. The TCFD report, together with our second ESG report, will highlight Harmony’s responsible stewardship initiatives for the past reporting period, and further stamp our commitment to good corporate citizenship.
The company wishes to notify shareholders of its Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment report included on pages 125 to 127 in its Integrated Annual Report 2020.
The audited annual financial statements for FY20 are included as part of the company’s suite of reports. These audited results contain no modifications to the financial results published on 15 September 2020.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. audited the annual financial statements and their unqualified report, containing key audit matters (pursuant to International Standards of Auditing ISA 701), is also available for inspection at the registered office of the company.
Printed copies of Harmony’s suite of FY20 reports are available upon request, free of charge from the Investor Relations Department at HarmonyIR@harmony.co.za.
The Form 20F - Harmony’s annual filing will be submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday, 29 October 2020 and will be available on the Company’s website and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
