With the April 6 outputs as our foundation and compass, we crafted 13 Culture Days across the
organisation. Each Culture Day plugged strongly into the three pillars of Leadership, Values and
Workforce Engagement, explaining that one cannot exist without the other two, and also reinforced
the 14 ingredients on which rests the entire reasoning behind the OCT programme.

Through a series of activities and conversational platforms, Living Significantly was placed on the
company-wide agenda on Culture Day, across all bands, sites and workgroups. The day triggered
questions around how personal significance can and does compliment workplace significance, while
also referencing and reinforcing our commitment to community upliftment, showing the value we
bring to those we do not directly employ. The leaf activities helped us ‘plant’ goodwill not just into the
OCT journey but into our future as one Anglo American Platinum.

Finally, Culture Day proved an excellent platform on which to begin to weave a golden thread
throughout the organisation, pulling together our strategy, our culture and our commercial intent
and showing how the three together have the ability to build integrity and indestructibility into the
organisation. It also proved the ideal departure point from which to craft our Purpose statement.
