Afrimat is committed to sustainable development and protecting the environment in line with regulations of the Department of Minerals and Energy. The group manages its environmental footprint with Environmental Management Programmes ("EMP") that focus on responsible mining, reducing emissions through upgrades to diesel-driven equipment and maintaining all equipment at optimum working levels and efficiency. Proactive programmes to reduce the company's carbon footprint have recently been introduced.

As Afrimat is aware that its activities may have an inadvertent effect on the environment in the ordinary course of projects of this nature, the group is committed to continually identifying advanced means of limiting this impact. Afrimat is today well-respected in the industry for its EMPs. These include conducting business operations in such a manner as to eliminate potential dust emissions, decrease noise pollution and focus on recycling. To this end the group monitors national and international regulatory guidelines and developments.

Further, third party audits by ASPASA, SARMA and external consultants support Afrimat's efforts in this regard and provide added opportunity for refinement and improvement.

Environmental progress reports are submitted annually to the Department of Minerals and Energy in terms of mining licence requirements. In addition, mine rehabilitation assessments are conducted by external consultants and provisions are raised to meet these future obligations.
