This document is a Pollution Prevention Plan Annual Progress Report for Hillside Aluminium (Pty) Ltd, a South32 company. It outlines planned mitigation measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically focusing on reducing anode scallops and anode effects in the reduction process to lower CO2 and PFC emissions over a five-year period.

This document is a pollution prevention plan submission by Sasol South Africa (Pty) Limited and Sasol Mining (Pty) Limited. It details the company's production processes for liquid fuels, chemicals, ammonia, and nitric acid, alongside its coal mining operations. The report provides greenhouse gas (GHG) emission data for 2015 and 2016, the methodologies used for these calculations, and a list of mitigation interventions aimed at reducing GHG intensity through energy efficiency and process improvements.

The ESMP outlines the environmental and social safeguards for a project involving the dredging of 415 meters of water flow paths, cleaning of one pond, and strengthening of 211 meters of embankments in Dabri village, DI Khan. It identifies risks such as soil erosion, land sliding, and restricted community access to water, proposing mitigation measures including the construction of five check dams to control flow velocity and reduce erosion. The plan mandates the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for workers, the establishment of a Community-Based Organization (CBO) for local participation, and a four-tier Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM). A long-term Operation and Maintenance (O&M) plan is set for 2027-2031 to ensure the sustainability of the 29,404 cubic meter water storage capacity.

The document details a mitigation strategy to maintain water availability for humans and livestock in local villages during the restoration of a pond (Activity 1.1.2) scheduled between May and December 2026. The plan focuses on practical mitigation measures, such as diverting water flow and providing mechanical transfers, rather than financial compensation, to avoid negative impacts on the community. It establishes a framework for stakeholder consultation, documented consent from Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and a structured implementation timeline involving WWF-Pakistan and government departments.
