Sibanye-Stillwater names mining sustainability veteran as new CSO
The US$5.8 billion miner recently began diversifying its portfolio to produce lithium, nickel and platinum and other critical minerals necessary for the energy transition.
South African miner Sibanye-Stillwater has appointed Melanie Naidoo-Vermaak, an environmental manager with more than 20 years of mining experience, as its new Chief Sustainability Officer.
Naidoo-Vermaak started on January 1, reporting to CEO Neal Froneman and replacing Themba George Nkosi, who became Chief People and Culture Officer in October 2023, after a year and a half as CSO. Sibanye-Stillwater says the new appointment is a move to âfurther diversify and strengthen senior leadershipâ as the group grows and evolves.
