Johannesburg - Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ('Harmony' and/or 'the Company') is pleased to announce that it has been included in the 2021 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index ('GEI').

This marks the third consecutive year of Harmony's inclusion in the highly coveted index.

The GEI is comprised of five sections focused on: female leadership and talent pipeline equal pay and gender pay parity an inclusive culture sexual harassment policies a pro-women brand

The GEI framework is a standardised reporting method used globally to acquire comprehensive workplace gender data. It defines a set of metrics used to determine a company's progress towards equal representation of gender throughout the levels of the organisation, commitment to gender equality goals, policies in place to reduce the impact of familial stresses and responsibilities on the workplace, and progress towards positive impact on women outside of the employee base.

'As South Africa's largest gold producer by volume, we are pleased that we have been included in this index for a third consecutive year. We will continue to promote an inclusive culture, where all employees are treated fairly and equally, without any prejudice based on either gender, race or religion,' said Peter Steenkamp, CEO of Harmony.
