Mining with purpose strengthens our commitment to good governance – ensuring responsible, ethical conduct, accountability, and the strategic execution of our business priorities and sustainability goals.
Strategic risk management
The board oversees the group’s risk governance process and progress made in delivering on the strategy to produce safe, profitable ounces and increase margins. This includes a risk-based and proactive safety culture journey and value-accretive acquisitions.
Responsible, ethical governance
The Harmony board of directors is committed to ethical leadership and upholds its duty to ensure Harmony is a responsible corporate citizen. It subscribes to the principles of good corporate governance and, accordingly, supports the definition of corporate governance as the exercise of ethical and effective leadership to achieve specific governance outcomes as described by King IV.
Our solid governance framework and related principles guide both the board and management in all their decisions making and conduct, they empower strong, experienced management teams and promote a culture of shared value for all stakeholders.
