From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.

Sashnee Moodley:

Although coal miner Exxaro acknowledges its contribution toward climate change, it also stresses that coal from already-established coal mines need to be capitalised upon to form the foundation of a new and future-sustainable business.

Creamer Media’s Donna Slater reports that simply closing current coal mines, such as the Lephalale Grootegeluk mine, would result in large-scale regional job losses and the inability for Eskom to produce power from its baseload coal-fired generation fleet.

As a prelude and financial impetus to build a more sustainable and less carbon intensive business, Exxaro has establish a new business strategy that relies on extracting the most from its current mines.

Exxaro stakeholder affairs executive head Mzila Mthenjane explains how the company intends to implement its new strategy
