• Norfolk releases ESG statement prior to commencing 2024
annual ESG report
• Board completes ESG education session and reviews ESG
approach
An active approach to the management of ESG risks has been a focus for
Norfolk since listing in March 2022. The Company releases an annual ESG Report
with the Board ultimately responsible for ESG performance. Having recently
conducted a review of its ESG approach and completed an ESG education
session, the Board has approved the below updated ESG statement.
“As a responsible junior explorer, we are deeply committed to operating
ethically and actively engaging with all stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of
our projects. We also undertake significant efforts to understand and minimise
our environmental impact, including measuring and offsetting carbon emissions
produced through exploration activities where possible. We engaged with
professional ESG consultants prior to our IPO listing and we endeavour to remain
educated and current in a fast paced regulatory environment with evolving
legislation and guidelines to ensure all material risks and opportunities are
effectively managed.”
The Board is cognizant of the evolving ESG regulatory environment and has
taken steps in recent months to ensure the Company is clear on its obligations
and effectively managing any associated risks and opportunities. The ESG Board
education session held in September covered regulatory updates, climate risk
fundamentals and a review of best-practice ESG reporting procedures in the
mineral exploration sector.
The Australian Accounting Standards Board has recently formalised the climate
reporting standard for Australian entities. Based on current reporting thresholds, at this stage,
Norfolk is unlikely to be required to report however Norfolk will remain proactive with some
of the disclosure requirements expected to be covered through our existing reporting
approach. Should this be subject to change, the Company’s active approach to the
management of GHG emissions and climate-related risk provides a solid foundation for any
future climate reporting mandates. Since listing, this includes the tracking of material Scope
1 & 2 operational emissions, a proactive approach to emissions management and offsetting
any unavoidable emissions with verified carbon credits.
The Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) have proposed the inclusion of ESG-related
modifying factors in the updated JORC Code, set to be released in 2025. The recent Board
education session saw the Board informed on the proposed changes and their implications.
Again, the Company’s active and integrated approach to ESG means it is well prepared to
respond and comply with any ESG-related changes that are made to the JORC Code.
