   The 2020 Sustainability Report, aligned with the Global Reporting 
Initiative standards, aims to assist stakeholders to further understand 
our business by providing transparent demonstration and disclosure of 
Kenmare's sustainability performance. The report outlines the strategy, 
policies, and management approach of Kenmare's longstanding and ongoing 
commitment to sustainability. These efforts are underpinned by the 
corporate values and purpose; to responsibly meet global demand for 
quality-of-life minerals. 
 
 
 
   Statement from Elaine Dorward-King, Chair of Sustainability Committee: 
 
   "Kenmare remains committed to advancing our efforts to be a responsible 
miner; focused on the safety and development of our people, as well as 
strong environmental and social performance. We have also enhanced our 
disclosure, to increase transparency, and set our first public 
sustainability targets. 
 
   In 2020, the Sustainability Committee endorsed strategies for Land 
Management, Water Stewardship, Energy and Climate Change and External 
Relations. These strategies brought together the work of many years and 
provides direction to further improve performance whilst ensuring 
long-term risks are managed. Of note in these strategies is Kenmare's 
commitment to building stronger biodiversity aspects into land 
management programmes and developing long-term greenhouse gas reduction 
targets." 
 
 
 
   Statement from Michael Carvill, Managing Director: 
 
   "Building on previous years sustainability disclosures in our Annual 
Reports, this standalone report has been a natural progression for 
Kenmare. We continue to evolve and improve our approach, with more 
structured policies, processes and reporting to demonstrate how Kenmare 
is fulfilling its purpose to 'responsibly meet global demand for 
quality-of-life minerals."
