Commitment to green economy is crucial, says ARM’s Patrice Motsepe

Diversified mining company African Rainbow Minerals (ARM) has reiterated its commitment to transitioning from coal to renewable energy, with its executive chairperson Patrice Motsepe describing the global commitment to the green economy as being not only important but crucial. Motsepe was speaking against the background of coal contributing an increased R351-million to ARM headline earnings of R3.7-billion in the six months ended December 31, well up on the R222-million headline loss in the corresponding period of 2021 and representing 8% of earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda). Significant combined contributions from PGMs and iron-ore made up 88% of ARM’s Ebitda in the half year.
