10Barrick Gold CorporationCA0679011084EQ0010005500001000ABX CNCanadaIndirect use: sufficient amounts of recycled, brackish and/or produced water available for use across your value chainNeutralWide ranges of supplies, varying from heavy equipment, grinding media, tires to explosives and chemical agents, are needed to for our mining operations. The production of these goods involves complex processes, various industries and multi-levels of supply chains. The requirement of sufficient amounts of recycled/brackish water, therefore, vary significantly.Other: After applying the WBCSB Global Water Tool to identify high and medium risk sites at country level, we plot the locations of our operations on to the Global Monthly water Scarcity map (see attached map) linked to the Water Footprint Network to assess water stress level at watershed level , evaluate the social water risk using the WWF Water Risk Filter tool and assess the biodiversity related water risk based on the IBAT4 (Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool) database. We then conduct a detailed analysis on the social and biodiversity information for the operations located in water stress watersheds. The analysis includes ground truth the findings from the above desktop risk assessment by working with our site personnel and review site specific monitoring data of local water resource, biodiversity and community relation etc., and look for any potential linkage to the mine water usage. Any identified linkage, namely cause-and-effect relationship between risk and any aspects of mine water usage, will be further evaluated to develop a short-term and long-term risk mitigation measure.
11Barrick Gold CorporationCA0679011084EQ0010005500001000ABX CNCanadaOther: The Community Relations Standard requires all high risk sites to annually complete a Social Risk Assessment based on Barrick's Formal Risk Assessment Process. Using this process, sites where there are high social risks related to water are able to assess inherent risks, review the effectiveness of current controls and develop additional controls if necessary. The Social Risk Assessment informs Community Relations annual work plan which is documented in a Site Social Management Plan. Outcomes from the Social Risk Assessment are also reported to site and corporate senior management through quarterly reporting requirements. High risks are also reported to the Board of Directors through the Community Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility Board Report.

Description

Complete open data set for companies that responded to the 2014 water questionnaire.
Through our water program we target the largest listed companies in the world, as determined by market capitalization, in sectors for which water is a material issue. We currently cover the Global 500, S&P 500 and FTSE 100 indices as well as the largest companies in Australia, Japan and South Africa.

Water is also incorporated into CDP’s supply chain program. In this initiative, large multinational companies (our supply chain members) issue CDP’s water questionnaire to a number of their suppliers. This exercise allows companies to investigate the water risk in their supply chain and gather vital information about water use outside their direct operations.

This year, we have invited approximately 2,300 companies to respond to CDP’s water questionnaire through our water program. This data set excludes private responders.
