Lonmin

From Lonmin's statement of support to the EITI:

Lonmin is deeply committed to transparency through open and honest communication and the free sharing of information. This is one of our key values as set out in the Lonmin Charter. We fully support and endorse the Principles and Criteria of the EITI.

As a company, Lonmin does not participate, directly or indirectly, in party politics and we do not make any payments or donations to any political party or individual politician. We contribute to the development of sound legislation and regulation, which is relevant and appropriate to our business interests.

Lonmin's current operations are all situated within the Republic of South Africa. The EITI is a voluntary process and to a great extent is government led. The government of the Republic of South Africa is not a signatory to the EITI but Lonmin would be fully supportive of any decision by the South African government to endorse the EITI.

Lonmin is a member of the International Council of Mining and Metals (ICMM), the world's leading international mining association which continues to endorse, support and play an active role in the EITI process. The ICMM has also recently launched the Resource Endowment Project which seeks to identify and promote ways to assist mineral rich countries across the developing world to use their mineral resources to achieve broad based economic growth and sustainable development and Lonmin is also fully supportive of this initiative.
