INTEGRATED REPORT 2023
for the year ended 31 December 2023
ABOUT THIS INTEGRATED REPORT
This Integrated report (report) describes the progress of Sibanye Stillwater Limited (Sibanye-Stillwater or the Group)
in delivering on its strategy, purpose and vision. It demonstrates how we create and preserve value for our stakeholders over the short, medium and long term, across the six capitals: human, financial, intellectual, natural, manufactured, social and relationship, noting that value creation in some areas can lead to value erosion in others. This report also includes material information on where our activities eroded value.
Sibanye-Stillwater publishes this 2023 Integrated report as its primary combined report which integrates material sustainability, operational and financial information, with further detail (financial and non-financial) made available in supplemental documents published on our website at www.sibanyestillwater.com/news-investors/reports/annual.

About our cover designs:
Our strategic differentiator Inclusive, diverse and bionic, is depicted in the cover as a fingerprint, with small markings that signify computer code. As technology becomes ever more capable and powerful, the fear exists of the possible loss of human individuality, the loss of our independent spirit. The design reminds us what this strategic differentiator points to, the potential for humanity to be enhanced through using technology ("bionic"), and the potential for uniqueness and diverse individual identity to find its expression in service to our vision and purpose. We value the contributions of our employees (each having left their unique "fingerprint" on our business) and we honour their commitment to our values, which ripples out, amplifying the Group's capacity to innovate and evolve.

Approach, scope and boundary
As noted above, this is a combined report. On the next page, there is an outline of what sections cover our õ Core Integrated report as the concise option. For the 2023 year ended 31 December 2023, annual data is provided where possible by region, segment and at the Group level.
Material events occurring post year-end and before the date of publication of this report are covered in this report and/or in the Group Annual financial report (note 41) available at www.sibanyestillwater.com/news-investors/reports/annual.
Given that our South African (SA) region (which includes the SA PGM operations and the SA gold operations) accounted for 75% of total revenue, and 96% of our workforce in 2023, and that the bulk of our material ESG-related activities take place in South Africa, the major emphasis of this report is on our SA activities. However, we also offer extensive detail on our American region (referred to as the US region, where our material operations comprise the US PGM operations), the European region (EU region for short which includes the Sandouville nickel refinery and Keliber lithium project) and the Australian region (the AUS region currently comprising the Century operation which has been consolidated for ten months during 2023, and the Mount Lyell project) where information is relevant. We do not report (or report minimally) on operations we do not manage/operate and in which we are minority shareholders.
- This report encompasses data pertaining to the financial year ended on 31 December 2023. As necessary or where pertinent, certain information has been incorporated subsequent to year-end

DIRECTORS' STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY
------------------------------------------------------------------
As required by King IV, our Board acknowledges that it is responsible for good governance, ethical leadership and responsible corporate citizenship. The Board applies the principles of King IV, by which
it recognises the triple context (society, economy, environment) in which the Group operates and its responsibility to create value sustainably, over the long term, across the six capitals. Notwithstanding trade-offs that may be required, we believe that, in support of our commitment to stakeholder capitalism and delivery of shared value, balanced appreciation for all the forms of capital delivers superior overall results.
The Board, supported by the Audit Committee, has ultimate responsibility for this report and for vouchsafing its integrity and completeness.
Having applied its collective expertise, the Board confirms that this report is a fair and transparent review of Sibanye-Stillwater, its principal material matters, its current profile and performance, and its ability to create value in the short, medium and long term.

ANCILLARY INFORMATION
MATERIALITY AND OUR MATERIAL MATTERS
Materiality is determined from the perspective of relevance (shared value creation and purpose) and of quantitative and qualitative impact (financial impact, production volume or reputational).
The Group's financial materiality is R750 million for the 2023 year. Material matters are those that are required to be managed strategically and with accountability. Material matters are also about disclosing information which focuses on the needs of primary stakeholders.
This year, Sibanye-Stillwater applied a double materiality lens (both "outside-in" and "inside-out" approaches) to its determination of material matters.
The outside-in approach considers how our business is impacted by sustainability issues, and what the effect is on our current and future cash flows/enterprise value over the short, medium and long term.
The inside-out approach considers how Sibanye-Stillwater's business impacts our stakeholders, including society, the environment, and the economy over the short, medium and long term.
Thus, determining material matters involves multifaceted considerations, including engagement with stakeholders
(e.g., investors), and perusing media reports and analysts' reports. For our environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters we also considered reputational surveys of the Group, in terms of how our stakeholders view us; similarly, we considered internal assessments of employee opinion. This report provides detail of material matters relevant to investors and to interested stakeholders, including government, organised labour, customers and employees.
Additionally, we contracted Deloitte - as an independent party - to facilitate a materiality workshop in the last quarter of 2023. Featuring the C-Suite, senior executives, and operational and functional specialists, the workshop applied the double materiality perspective, with the final approval of the list by the CEO and the CFO. After independently facilitated discussions involving all relevant decision-makers, we identified fourteen material matters (M1-M14).
MATERIAL MATTERS MAP
---------------------------------------------------------------
The material matters map demonstrates material matters in relation to financial materiality and impact materiality. The colour of the squares of each material issue is representative of the three-dimensional business strategy (see page 48).

OUR ESG CREDENTIALS

CLICK TO VIEW
- See the Consolidated Income statement in the Group Annual Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2023
- The FTSE Russell green revenue factor is defined by FTSE Russell as the percentage of revenue that is derived from products that have a positive environmental utility which help prevent, restore and/or adapt to issues deriving from climate change, natural resource limitations and environmental degradation. This measure enables precise identification of green products and services across the entire value chain and helps investors assess revenue exposure to green activities within the Group. Based on the criteria developed by FTSE Russel, Sibanye-Stillwater utilised revenue from the following operations in determining its FTSE Russell green revenue factor: SA gold (limited to the Cooke operation); SA PGMs (excluding Mimosa); and US PGMs (including recycling) The FTSE Russell green revenue factor is a non-IFRS measure and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards
