We extend our deepest condolences to their family, friends and colleagues. Anglo American Platinum has faced significant headwinds in the first six months of 2020, with the impact of Covid-19 on our operations and markets compounded by the force majeure incident leading to the temporary shutdown of the Anglo Converter Plant. Despite these challenges, our financial results, our response to Covid-19, as well as our continuous drive to P101 performance and the roll-out of technology in the last six months illustrate the resilience of the business and the ability and commitment of our team to live up to our purpose - ‘to re-imagine mining to improve people’s lives’. I am particularly proud of the important work we have been doing to help keep our employees and host communities healthy during the pandemic, with R55 million invested in community relief efforts. We developed our comprehensive WeCare lives and livelihoods programme in close collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders to help identify and address the areas of greatest need. Our efforts include water and food supply, support to local clinics and hospitals, Covid-19 education and awareness campaigns and supporting victims of gender-based violence. The health, safety and wellbeing of our employees and contractors is the heart of our approach, and we have invested R251 million in industry-leading measures to limit the spread of the virus at the workplace and our communities. These investments include our own testing laboratories and isolation and quarantine facilities. We have been in the fortunate position to continue paying all employees throughout the lockdown, including those who are still not yet back at work. This group covers vulnerable employees who are at high risk of serious illness should they contract the virus, due to age or underlying health conditions. To date, we have spent more than R1.2 billion on salaries and benefits during the lockdown for employees not working. Covid-19 has shone the spotlight on many of the serious needs in our communities, which no organisation or institution can address fully on its own. The pandemic has offered us a unique opportunity to work together in new ways with our stakeholders, and I believe we are investing in partnerships and solutions that will continue to benefit all our stakeholders long after the pandemic is over. Despite the challenges and safety risks brought about by shutting down and restarting operations, we have reported our best ever safety performance in the past six months, with managed operations running without a fatal incident for an unprecedented consecutive 620 days to the end of June. Strong leadership commitment to safety, despite the additional risk brought about with the uncertainty of Covid-19, allowed us to achieve this result.
