Celebrating safety excellence: 2025 Coal Safe Awards
We’re proud to reflect on our strong performance at the 2025 Coal Safe Awards — a prestigious event that recognises excellence in safety across South Africa’s coal mining industry. This achievement came at a time when we were actively embedding our refreshed One Voice safety strategy, further encouraging our journey towards a more unified, safety-led culture across Exxaro.
This year’s theme, “Sustainably Delivering Today, Shaping Tomorrow,” serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect our people, preserve our environment, and build a future where safety is not just a priority – it’s a way of life.
Coal Safe recognises those who lead with care, operate responsibly, and commit to Zero Harm — every shift, every site, every day. At Exxaro, every safety milestone moves us closer to this goal, and we are proud of what our teams have achieved. With Safety Always, All the Way, we are committed to building a safer, more sustainable tomorrow.
