Our SRP #1 2024

Our SRP

Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions

WELCOME

Dear colleague,

Welcome to the first issue 2024 of our business area newsletter Our SRP, where you can read about some of our many activities worldwide at Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions.

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that on July 1 our Stationary Crushing and Screening Division will split into two separate divisions. There will be one division for Crushing Solutions and one for Screening Solutions. I am happy that we now also have two Presidents appointed: Therese Withington for Screening Solutions and Peter Unelind for Crushing Solutions. You can find more details on page 6 in this newsletter.

Safety first

As always, I’d like to mention safety. In February we’ve seen a significant decrease of both Lost time injuries and Total recordable injuries, which is good news. Let’s make sure this trend continues! We also see a good development in the reporting of hazards. However, we need to get better at also implementing preventive and corrective actions when a hazard has been detected, so that we can improve the Close out ratio.

Q1 webinar and strategy update

We are approaching the end of the first quarter 2024 and the Q1 results will be released on April 22. A few days later, on April 25 you are invited to join in the Q1 webinar, where we will talk about our performance. During the webinar we will also take the opportunity to present the updated business area strategy, so stay tuned. An invitation will be coming out shortly.

Until then - stay well and stay safe.

President Sandvik

The crucial role of Speak Up

In today’s complicated landscape of regulations, business and governance, the role of whistleblower systems has become even more vital in fostering transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct. At Sandvik, we take this seriously with our Speak Up program. It is the responsibility of all employees in Sandvik to report misconduct, fraud, or any unethical behavior without fear of retaliation through the Speak Up system.

Here’s why it’s so important:

1. Early Warning System: Speak Up lets anyone confidentially report problems in a timely manner. This helps us fix things before they get worse, protecting our reputation and avoiding legal trouble.

2. Sandvik Values: By encouraging people to speak up we are fostering an environment of open communication and trust, to create a community where everyone supports one another and upholds strong ethical principles. That helps us to make Sandvik a better place for Everyone.

3. No Retaliation: Sandvik Speak Up system and relevant procedures are designed according to the requirements in EU Whistleblower Directive. We have zero tolerance for retaliation.

4. It’s the Law: Many jurisdictions, like the EU, require companies to have whistleblower systems.

All reporters and their input were kept confidential and were thoroughly Reviewed by SRP Ethics Committe that consist of BA General Counsel, BA HR VP, BA Compliance Director and BA Compliance Officers

Having Speak Up is more than just a policy; it’s about creating a culture where everyone feels valued and heard. So, if you have any concerns, please just “speak up” or reach out to SRP Compliance team. More information: melih.kavukçu@sandvik.com

Launch of upgraded 800i cone crusher series

March 1, Stationary Division launched the upgraded 800i cone crusher series. It has new mechanical upgrades for increased reliability and uniformity, together with the new automation and connectivity system ACS-c 5.

“The upgraded 800i crushers are a natural next step in setting the bar for crushing. They have an ideal combination of high crushing forces, reliability, and simplicity, which make them easier to operate, manage, maintain and service than ever before. This in turn leads to productivity and uptime gains that are gamechangers for operational performance.” Javier Valdeavellano, Lifecycle Manager 800i cone crushers. 800i crushers target installed inefficiency in operating mines, as well as in greenfields. For example, in flowsheets including 3-stage crushing and conventional grinding, assisting SAG/AG circuits with pebble crushing, and optimizing particle size distribution for lump ores and

heap leach applications. The 800i crushers are also suitable in High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) circuits. They crush more and deliver finer particle sizes to the downstream processes.

Can be connected to SAM

All 800i crushers come equipped with the latest ACS-c 5 and are ready to be connected to SAM.

“As previously announced, we have added a new platform for our users. To enhance our user’s ability to monitor their equipment and thus gain insights regarding their operation, SAM has now been adapted to be used on Smartphones. This allows our users to monitor their fleet, view equipment data & insights, alarms, access manuals and much more, wherever they are.” Ali Jumaa, Digital Solution Specialist.
