Philip Bainbridge
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Phil Bainbridge, and I Chair Sims Limited. It’s my real pleasure to welcome you to the 34th Annual General Meeting of your company.
Today, we are hosting a hybrid annual general meeting with the options of in-person and virtual attendance. I’m very pleased to be here, and I would like to thank you for showing your support and joining the meeting today. I’d like to begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians on the land of which we are today, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands from which each of you is joining us online as well. We recognize and respect their deep connection and stewardship of the land and waters. We pay my respects to the elders past and present.
Just a very quick safety moment. If the alarm does go off today, there’s no drill planned. So if it does go off, we’re out of that door and either down on to Sussex Street or on to Kent Street. But if the alarm does go off, it is for real. Thank you.
Before going any further, let me introduce my colleagues who are with us today. From the Board, we have Vicky Binns; we have Shin Omachi; we have Russ Rinn; and our Group Managing Director, Stephen Mikkelsen. Also online, we have Grant Dempsey and Kathy Hirschfeld, who are attending virtually. I’d like to introduce Gretchen Johanns, our General Counsel and Company Secretary. And our moderator for today for questions, Michelle Pole, General Counsel and Company Secretary for ANZ Metals.
