About Exxaro
Evolution of a 21st century company
Exxaro was created and listed on the JSE in November 2006. Since then, we have grown to become
South Africa’s foremost black-empowered and diversified commodities company with a global asset
portfolio including coal operations and investments in iron ore, pigment manufacturing*, renewable
energy (wind) and residual base metals.
As a major coal supplier, we understand the importance of a just transition to a low-carbon world (details in our strategy). Our journey
