ESG: Corporate Governance
Good corporate governance is central to our vision of creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders.
Committed to responsible, ethical governance
Our corporate governance framework provides strategic direction for the Group, supports our licence to operate and ensures our compliance with the highest legal, ethical and industry standards.
We review our corporate governance practices regularly and have adopted King IV as the recognised corporate governance code to ensure that we act in the best interests of our stakeholders and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of our business, our governance framework actively shapes our corporate citizenship role, and we invest in our relationships with our host communities to seek their ongoing approval, support and participation.

Illegal Mining & Crime Prevention
High levels of illegal mining, especially at Barberton Mines pose significant safety and security risk, and negatively affects our gold production.
In response, Pan African Resources has implemented a multi-layered strategic and operational approach to combat illegal activities, in coordination with relevant law enforcement authorities. We have expanded our efforts to include community-based crime prevention initiatives, introduced CCTV networks on our operations, as well as dedicated significant resources to sealing off old mine shafts.
These investments have already enabled us to target high-risk areas more effectively.
