Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Policy (abridged)

—

The full IMC Rare Earths Ltd ESG Policy is also available for download and review.

—

Purpose

This ESG Policy sets out IMC’s commitments to sustainability, social responsibility, and good governance as we conduct mining and exploration activities in Brazil. Brazil is known for its rich biodiversity, the Amazon rainforest, and Indigenous populations, making environmental stewardship and social responsibility critical. We recognise our responsibility to minimise environmental impacts, support local communities, and operate transparently and ethically.

Scope

This policy applies to IMC’s operations, employees, contractors, and partners in Brazil’s mining and exploration activities.

IMC’s ESG Policy Statement

IMC firmly believes it is part of our corporate responsibility to deliver returns by being a responsible investor. Integrating ESG matters into our operations and investment decision-making processes is critical to being a responsible corporate body.

Our Responsibility

Responsible mining and exploration are about transparency and openness. At IMC, this commitment to the safety of our people, the protection of the environment, and continuous improvement through technological innovation is made possible thanks to the dedication of our employees, the support of our leadership, and the communities in which we operate.

Environmental Stewardship

We are committed to protecting Brazil’s natural environment and minimising the ecological footprint of our mining and exploration activities. Our environmental initiatives focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, preserving biodiversity, and ensuring sustainable resource management.

Social Responsibility

Our social policy emphasises building respectful relationships with communities, supporting local development, and ensuring the well-being of our employees and stakeholders.

Governance and Ethical Conduct

We strive to maintain the highest transparency, integrity, and accountability standards in our operations.

IMC ESG Principles

At IMC, we recognise the importance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and indirectly contribute to most of them. We have prioritised the SDGs that align most directly with our business, corporate strategy, sustainability efforts, and stakeholder expectations while representing our most significant opportunities to contribute further to the goals.

Mining companies can potentially become leading partners in achieving the SDGs (www.un.org). Mining companies, such as IMC, can generate profits, employment, and economic growth in low-income countries through their direct operations. Through partnerships with government and civil society, they can ensure that the benefits of mining extend beyond the life of the mine itself so that the mining industry has a positive impact on the natural environment, climate change, and social capital.

ACCOUNTABILITY

IMC and its subsidiaries and operating partnerships will maintain realistic expectations and targets for their ESG goals, ensuring they are achievable to avoid failure or reporting downfalls concerning a pre-established target.

POLICY REVIEW AND UPDATES

IMC is committed to continuously improving our ESG performance, striving to align our practices with evolving industry standards and stakeholder expectations. This policy will be reviewed annually or as required to ensure compliance with evolving ESG regulations and best practices.

IMC will actively engage with industry associations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and local communities to share best practices and develop innovative solutions to the challenges facing the mining industry in Brazil.

The Board of Directors will approve any updates.
