Inclusion and Diversity Policy

1. PURPOSE

Evolution Mining Limited’s (“Evolution” or “Company”) Inclusion and Diversity Policy is reflective of the Company’s commitment to equality and the treatment of all individuals with respect.

Evolution is dedicated to growing an inclusive and diverse workforce, aligned with the Company’s values of safety, excellence, accountability, and respect, where every employee is treated fairly, feels respected, can contribute to business success, and realise their full potential.

Evolution continues to invest in its people and processes to ensure that the workplace culture is inclusive, collaborative, and diverse in enabling our people to do their best work.

2. SCOPE

This policy applies to all Evolution employees, including directors, officers, contractors, and consultants (Employees) acting on the Company’s behalf and includes the recruitment and selection process at all levels, terms, and conditions of employment, including pay and remuneration, talent identification, promotion, work assignment, training and development and any other aspect of employment.

Diversity – refers to all characteristics that make individuals different from each other. These are more than gender, race, age, culture – diversity is a mixture of differences and similarities related to each person’s values, beliefs, experiences, background, preference, and behaviours.

Inclusion – is respecting differences and enabling a diverse mix of people to work effectively together, by creating an environment where all people feel respected, connected and can do their best work.

 

3. RESPONSIBILITIES

It is the responsibility of all Employees to understand, contribute to and maintain an inclusive and diverse workplace culture. Employees are required to demonstrate inclusion through the Evolution Values, respecting the diversity of others, incorporating inclusion into daily work practices and report violations or suspected violations.
