Further strengthening corporate governance at Sasa 

In 2025, we conducted a corporate governance review at Sasa to evaluate the levels of compliance with our processes and procedures, particularly those relating to ABC. This involved interviews with, and a review of information from, relevant site departments including procurement, finance, communities, human resources and legal. 

The review focused on the following areas:                  

‣ Procurement policies and  decision-making in sourcing and selection. 

‣ Sourcing and vetting of suppliers, including through our Supplier Code of Conduct.

‣ Due diligence procedures, including ‘red flag’ identification and escalation, as well  as the logging of             conflicts of interest.

‣ Approval procedures around engagement of third-party agents or intermediaries. 

‣ Transparency in recruitment and employee awards policies, including promotion, remuneration    and hiring practices.

‣ Contractual  provisions in standard templates relating   to ABC, including termination rights for breaches of our policies. 

‣ Finance controls and checks, including delegation of authority, separation of functions, authorisation processes                and payment                  reconciliation procedures. 

The results were presented   to the CAML Board, via the Sustainability Committee, with the findings of the review informing recommendations and next steps to strengthen further governance practices across the Group. 

During Q1 2026, an action plan was drafted, circulated to site, and agreed with managers to guide implementation of the recommendations based on priority. These will be implemented over the course of 2026-2027, ahead of the next corporate governance review scheduled for 2028 (in               alignment with our commitment of doing so every three years).
