Johannesburg, 14 December 2021: Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) is pleased to announce that it received an average 'A-' rating1 for its 'Water Security' by CDP, a non-profit global environmental disclosure platform.

Through our understanding of the interdependencies between climate change and water security we are better placed to reduce risk, support local communities and drive actions towards building a sustainable climate change resilient business.
