Exxaro commits to leading SA coal sector to ‘a new way of working’

Worsening pollution crises and global warming have brought the world’s critical dependence on fossil fuels into the spotlight and the need for more sustainable and renewable energy solutions has become increasingly urgent, notes coal miner Exxaro, which has recommitted to being part of the solution toward sustainable development. “The coal industry remains a key pillar of the current economy, without which we could not survive. Not only does coal fuel over 90% of our electricity generation, but coal mining is the third-largest employer in the mining sector, with over 87 000 employees – a number that is likely to increase,” the miner notes.
