Welcome to our first-ever Thrive edition of xxplore

A moment to pause, look back and celebrate a year defined by growth,impact and powering possibility.

What does it mean to thrive? At Exxaro, thriving is bigger than business performance. It’s what happens when the whole ecosystem around us grows stronger – when our people feel supported and valued, when our communities flourish, when our culture deepens and when our business continues to evolve with purpose.

Thriving is inclusive, it’s collective, it’s the sum of thousands of actions taken across every business unit, each one contributing to something bigger and more meaningful than itself.

This special edition brings those moments together. It shows how safety, innovation, learning, leadership, environmental care and community partnership each play a role in shaping a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. And, more importantly, it reminds us that every employee, across every discipline, in every business unit has helped make that future possible.

We invite you to take a moment, step back and see the bigger picture – a business that is thriving because its people, partners and communities are thriving too. That is something to be proud of.

As we close out 2025, we want to thank you for everything you have contributed – for leading safely, learning continuously, supporting one another and just showing up with purpose and excellence every day.

Wishing you a safe and restful festive season and a peaceful start to the new year.

Here’s to continuing to thrive together in 2026.

Happy xxploring.
