Implats seeks to deliver sustained value to its stakeholders. This is achieved by leveraging our portfolio of mineral and processing assets and through our commitment to sustainable development, operational excellence and prudent capital allocation.
Implats’ profitability is driven by sales volumes and stringent cost control. Prices are non-controllable. Increases in production volumes lower the overhead allocation to each unit produced and are addressed in operational effectiveness strategies.
Driving efficient execution and sustained support for value creation across the business.
Sustaining livelihoods and creating a better future.
The Group has leveraged the recent PGM pricing windfall to strengthen the business, care for employees, reward investors and secure future growth and sustainability. Production and planning adjustments and a Group labour restructuring have been completed to sustain business viability during the current period of weak PGM pricing. Focused capital investment secures operational efficiency and flexibility, ore reserve positioning, infrastructure integrity and statutory compliance. Our strategic growth and replacement projects improve our competitiveness in processing and reduce our carbon footprint.
Implats’ excellent ESG practices are recognised by leading independent global agencies. Our decarbonisation efforts strengthen energy security and position the Group in the new energy value chain and we prioritise constructive and sustainable relationships with our mine-host communities.
Widespread use of our products, their recyclability and our commitment to responsible production underpins their appeal as the world increases its focus on sustainable development. Strained industry economics and significant barriers to entry create headwinds to future primary supply. We actively support current and future demand drivers, maintain strong customer and industry relationships and ensure production aligns to evolving demand.
Our capital allocation framework aims to retain the Group’s financial flexibility. The strong balance sheet, substantial cash reserves and funding optionality enable Implats to deliver, sustain, grow and share meaningful value for all stakeholders.
Implats’ diverse mineral resource portfolio is dominated by low-cost, mechanised orebodies. Life-of-mine extensions have been delivered through expanded reserve positions across the portfolio and our processing assets are able to draw down previously accumulated inventory and support free cash generation.
We have progressed several projects to expand Group smelting and refining capacity to extract mine-to-market margins, while also advancing greener solutions to enhance energy security. Our ability to process and market our expanding production is a core competitive advantage.
Implats' business model, including the systems for transforming inputs through its value chain and activities into outputs and outcomes which fulfill the organisation's strategic purpose, is continually being reshaped by innovation and new technologies in the short, medium and long term.
Significant shifts in information technology (IT) and operating technology (OT) have been identified to strengthen our business. These aspects are critical to driving production, safeguarding the business against emerging cyber risks and supporting the Group's purpose to create a better future, through and beyond mining.
