2021 SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE DATA TABLES
This workbook discloses Mineral Resources Limited's sustainability performance data for the financial year ending June 30 2021. This workbook is to be read in conjunction with the 2021 Sustainability Report. The scope of this worksheet is to consolidate sustainability reporting metrics for operations managed / owned by Mineral Resources Limited (MRL). All references to 'MRL', 'the Company', 'the Group', 'we', 'us' and 'our' refer to Mineral Resources Limited (ABN 33 118 549 910) and the entities it controlled, unless otherwise stated. Data tables presenting an aggregated view of MRL include all sites (except where otherwise stated), where MRL has: • operational control and/or • are wholly managed by MRL or • where MRL maintains a majority ownership in a joint venture or • where we have management on-site as per a joint venture agreement Operational sites are inclusive of those in 'care-and maintenance' (where active resource extraction has been suspended and may later resume). Where there have been changes to previously reported data, this is shown in italics. Restatements occur due to changes in multipliers outside of our control, such as emission factors, corrections to historical data sets or where we have updated our approach to calculations. For management approach disclosures, performance measures and additional context, please refer to our 2021 Sustainability Report and website: https://www.mineralresources.com.au/ If you have any questions or feedback on our sustainability performance data or any other sustainability related disclosure, please email
MRL engaged an independent external Ernst and Young, to provide limited assurance over six of our sustainability performance indicators (refer to page 113 of this report for a copy of the Independent Limited Assurance Statement). This document contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to expectations regarding: • Climate change and climate related risks and opportunities • Future execution of MRL's Net Zero Emissions Roadmap • Achievements of net zero emissions in accordance with the projections from 2023-2050 • Development and implementation of technologies or emission reduction projects • Trends in commodity prices and their supply and demand • Regulatory and policy developments When used herein, the words "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "going forward", "intend", "may", "plan", "project", "seek", "should", "will", "would" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based upon certain assumptions and information available to the Company as at the date of this document. These assumptions may prove to be incorrect. There are also limitations with respect to scenario analysis and it is difficult for the Company to predict which scenarios (if any) may eventuate. Forward looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance as they involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control and may cause results to be different from statements in this document. The Company cautions against undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. This document does not purport to be all inclusive or to contain all information which its recipients may require to make an informed assessment of the Company's sustainability performance.

Governance | |
Describe the Board's oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities. | MRL's Board and Audit and Risk Committee oversee the governance of climate-related risks and opportunities. The senior management team is responsible for the execution of the company-wide approach of the transition to a low-carbon economy. Key climate-related risks and opportunities are included in the Group's Enterprise Risk Register, which is reviewed with company subject matter experts and presented to the Board on a quarterly basis (refer to 2021 Sustainability Report Material Topic 1: Operating with ethics and integrity - Corporate Governance for further information). |
Describe management's role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities. | The MRL Sustainability Working Group, a cross-functional management level group, meets every second month. Climate-related risks and opportunities are discussed in this forum and escalated, when required, to the Board via the monthly Sustainability Board Report. During FY21, MRL established a Decarbonisation Pathway Working Group responsible for matters and activities related specifically to climate change and decarbonisation abatement projects to manage our carbon emissions. The group supports the integration of climate change strategy into our business and progressing internal GHG targets across operations, ensuring that these are aligned with the Board's commitment to our target of net zero emissions by 2050. The working group is comprised of two Executive Managers and subject matter experts and meet weekly. |
Strategy | |
Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short, medium, and long term. | MRL is committed to continuously improve our risk identification process in alignment to the TCFD and conduct quarterly reviews of our key climate-related risks and opportunities, see 'Our climate-related risks and opportunities'. |
Describe the impact of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organisation's businesses, strategy, and financial planning. | To respond to climate-related risks and opportunities, MRL embeds climate risk analysis in our portfolio composition, emissions reductions, targets, technology and innovation developments. Guidance from our climate-related policy and stakeholder engagements progresses appropriate mitigation and management strategies. Company level risks, such as the evolving climate change mitigation regulations, are monitored by our Audit and Risk Committee as well as a dedicated Decarbonisation Pathway Working Group. |
Describe the resilience of the organisation's strategy, taking into consideration different climate-related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario. | As we continue to develop our management approach to climate change, we consider the resilience of our strategy under various scenarios to ensure that our business continues to generate and sustain value under a changing climate. Our key climate-related risks and opportunities have been identified through the lens of three future scenarios. These scenarios described a combination of possible future physical and socioeconomic impacts to which we may be exposed: • Scenario 1: 'Orderly and Paris-aligned transition to a low-carbon economy' is aligned with the Paris Agreement to keep global temperature increases below 2°C above pre-industrial average temperatures and is characterised by globally co-ordinated and government-led decarbonisation, where the worst physical impacts of climate change are avoided • Scenario 2: 'High GHG emissions with limited global co-ordination' is aligned with global temperate increases of approximately 4°C above pre-industrial average temperatures and is characterised by business-as-usual conditions with limited and uncoordinated climate change regulation and activity • Scenario 3: 'Net-Zero Emissions by 2050' is aligned with the most recent special report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, and is characterised by energy demand reductions, decarbonisation of electricity and other fuels, electrification of energy end use, stronger climate policy mitigation pathways consistent with high likelihood of carbon pricing imposed directly or implicitly by regulatory policies In FY21, MRL further expanded our understanding of the 1.5 - 2°C emission scenarios developed by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), using the scenarios as guidance to meet net zero by 2050. Our pathway, detailed in Figure 21, shows our short-term, medium-term and long-term strategy. Our short term focus is to build resilience, factoring in current technologies and commercial readiness, to rapidly embed decarbonisation efforts across the business. Our climate scenario analyses indicate the business' long-term resilience and value generation under the three possible climate decarbonisation scenarios including a 1.5 - 2°C outcome. See 'Our climate-related risks and opportunities' for more information about the scenarios considered when identifying and assessing our key climate-related risks and opportunities. |
Risk Management | |
Describe the organisation's processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks. | MRL continues to enhance our alignment to the TCFD recommendations and disclose our identification processes and assessment of our key climate-related risks and opportunities. Year-on-year our approach will evolve to support embedding climate-related risks and opportunities into our business-as-usual processes. See 'Our climate-related risks and opportunities' |
Describe the organisation's processes for managing climate-related risks. | The climate-related risk and opportunity identification and assessment process, conducted last year, was the first step in our TCFD journey to inform our strategic responses. During FY21, we built on this foundation with detailed corporate modelling of our company emissions profile and development of our Roadmap to Net Zero, illustrated in Figure 21, which provides a depiction of the high-level directional change in energy use and emissions in the business over time, as influenced by the introduction of abatement projects. The combined emissions reduction potential of identified projects would result in sufficient abatement to reduce MRLs operational emissions to net zero. |
Describe how processes for identifying, assessing, and managing climate-related risks are integrated into the organisation's overall risk management. | Key climate-related risks and opportunities are included in the Group's Enterprise Risk Register, which is presented to the Board on a quarterly basis. MRL considers the cost of carbon in the investment decision making process. |
Metrics and Targets | |
Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management process. | MRL considers consequence, likelihood and severity metrics when assessing the magnitude of a risk. Opportunities and risks are assessed with consideration to safety and security, health and wellbeing, environment, community, reputation, compliance and contracting, financial production and operations and business continuity, which are then rated in line with their contribution to our delivery of our net zero target. The performance of the executive KMP has been assessed on climate-related performance metrics and are incorporated into our remuneration policies. During FY21, climate-related performance metrics were identified as part of our emissions intensity and net zero emissions strategy development. |
Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2, and, if appropriate, Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the related risks. | We disclose our energy consumption, Scope 110 , Scope 211 GHG emissions and carbon intensity per Total Material Mined (TMM) in our annual sustainability reporting. We calculate our GHG emissions in line with the GHG Protocol and the Australian National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act (2007). See 'Our Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions' for further information. |
Describe the targets used by the organisation to manage climate-related risks and opportunities and performance against targets. | This year, MRL set the target of net zero operational emissions by 2050. Setting this target drives business decisions aligned to manage climate-related risks and pursue opportunities. |

1 Koolyanobbing, Mt Jackson, Windarling and Deception are connected by a private haul route. While the Carina operations (Carina and J4) form part of the 'Yilgarn' hub it is only J4 that connects to the Koolyanobbing haul road. Parker Range is under development. A private haul road linking Parker Range and Koolyanobbing is currently under assessment with EPA/DAWE. 2 Species distributions for IUCN listed species were downloaded from the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool in August 2021. ArcGIS was utilised to identify all species with habitat that occur within MRL operational areas. 3 Number of EPBC listed species with potential habitat in the area of MRL operations were attained through state of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) habitat searches cross referenced to the EPBC act listing to indicate species of national conservation. Where site specific biodiversity survey and impact assessment information was available, it was utilised to complement the database information. | ||||||
