SIBANYE-STILLWATER'S ICMM SELF-ASSESSMENT

FOR THE YEAR THAT ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The ICMM (International Council on Mining and Metals) is an industry body that plays a global leadership role in sustainable development. Its membership includes one third of the global metals and mining industry. The ICMM is dedicated to leadership, action and innovation for a safe, just and sustainable world. Membership of the ICMM entails an active role in building a safer and more sustainable mining and metals industry.

Sibanye-Stillwater joined as an ICMM member in February 2020.

The ICMM has five subject matters as part of its Assurance and Validation Procedure to confirm members are implementing their mining principles and performance expectations (PEs).

Subject matter 1: A description of how the company has aligned its policies, management standards, and procedures with the ICMM Principles and relevant PEs, and any mandatory requirements set out in ICMM Position Statements.

Subject matter 2: Document the review process of sustainability risks and opportunities, taking stakeholder expectations into account. The company's material sustainability risks

and opportunities based on its own review of the business and the views and expectations of its stakeholders (in line with Global Reporting Index, GRI, requirements).

Subject matter 3: Provide detail about systems and approaches in managing risks and opportunities. Member companies can choose a specific risk; ours is managing workplace safety.

Subject matter 4: Reported performance (during the reporting period) for the identified risk (workplace safety).

Subject matter 5: Disclosures regarding the company's prioritisation process for selecting which assets to put forward for third-party PE validation, an ICMM requirement.

Our response to the Assurance and Validation Procedure's subject matters:

Subject matter 1: We have updated our policies and position statements for the Group as per the ICMM requirements. These can be viewed at www.sibanyestillwater.com/sustainability/ reports-policies/.

Subject matter 2: We include a table for "accountability, governance, and assurance" in each chapter of the performance section of our Integrated report. We also conducted a materiality workshop to determine material matters, which takes into account stakeholder expectations and includes independent consultants. See Our material matters, page 3, and 287-288.

Subject matter 3: Our risk process takes the ICMM's Mining Principles into account, and

is explained in Managing our risks and opportunities within the external operating environment, page 51. Other sustainability-relatedrisk discussions are included in, Continuous safe production, page 125, Health, wellbeing and occupational hygiene, page 136, Socioeconomic development, page 213, and Minimising our environmental impact, page 186, amongst others.

Subject matter 4: Refer to the KPMG assurance statement, page 285, on the related performance indicators that have been assured.

Subject matter 5: Sibanye-Stillwater's production split is the main factor for determining the Group's prioritisation for selecting appropriate assets to be third-party PE validated. Further to this, our Southern African operations account for the majority of ounces produced and account for most of the workforce employed. The SA region concluded its self-assessment and third-party validations in a previous reporting cycle; the US region completed its self-assessment and third- party validation in this reporting cycle. We will stagger self-assessment/third-party validation for newly acquired operations over the next two years.

An online training video on our ethical practices is available to suppliers. This year we made available the United Nations Global Compact's free sustainability courses to suppliers.

Suppliers, business partners and contractors must adhere to our Group policies and practices as stipulated in our business contracts with them.
