JSE- and NYSE-listed Sibanye-Stillwater has achieved Responsible Sourcing accreditation from the London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM).

This accreditation means that the group’s South African platinum group metals (PGMs) refinery facility complies with the LPPM Responsible Platinum and Palladium Guidance.

The accreditation follows the approval by the LPPM of an independent audit of the group's supply chain management systems and practices, conducted in 2020.

Sibanye CEO Neal Froneman says approval by the LPPM confirms the high governance standards of the company’s processes and that it “is aligned with our strategic pillar to embed environmental, social and governance (ESG) excellence as the way we do business”.
