Sibanye Gold : Stillwater included in the Bloomberg 2020 Gender-Equality Index

Johannesburg - Sibanye-Stillwater is pleased to announce that it has been included in the Bloomberg 2020 Gender-Equality Index (GEI).

The Group is one of 325 companies globally (and one of only eight South African companies) over 11 sectors which qualified to be included in index.

The GEI tracks the financial performance of public companies committed to supporting gender equality through policy development, representation, and transparency. The reference index measures gender equality across five pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand. Nearly 6,000 companies across 84 countries and regions participated in the most recent process.

CEO, Neal Froneman commented: 'The inclusion of Sibanye-Stillwater in the GEI is heartening and energises us to build on what we have achieved to date, to continue promoting gender equality throughout our business. We aim to establish a working environment, and instil a culture, that supports and proactively attracts women at all levels, and which accelerates gender equity through employee development and improved communication, promoting awareness and understanding of gender diversity and equity, and removing gender-related barriers to make the working environment more conducive for women. Every effort has been made to ensure that our HR policies are gender-neutral.'

Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg, said: 'Through disclosure of gender-related metrics using the GEI framework, the firms included in the 2020 GEI have provided a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace gender equality and the communities in which they operate. Sibanye-Stillwater was included in this year's index for scoring at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect a high level of disclosure and overall performance across the framework's five pillars. Gender diversity is a business imperative. For companies, a commitment to gender inclusion creates a supportive work environment, which, in turn, fosters increased productivity and collaboration between employees with different backgrounds and perspectives. Ultimately, this sparks innovation and drives better business performance. I'd like to thank all of the companies that have disclosed their gender-related data and are thereby helping us expand the ESG data universe to increase market transparency and efficiency.'

More about Bloomberg's Gender-Equality Index (GEI)

Bloomberg's gender reporting framework is an international standardized reporting and disclosure method for workplace gender data. At no cost, it arms companies with a blueprint for measuring how they promote gender equality across five dimensions: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand.

Through disclosure of gender-related metrics, the firms included in the 2020 GEI have provided a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace gender equality and communities in which they operate. Both the framework and the GEI are voluntary and have no associated costs. The GEI is a reference index and is not for use as a financial benchmark. The index is not ranked. While all public companies are encouraged to disclose supplemental gender data for their company's investment profile on the Bloomberg Terminal, those that have a market capitalization of USD1 billion are eligible for inclusion in the index.
