sustainability report
The building of long-term and mutually beneficial
relationships with our stakeholders is a business
imperative. In pursuit of this goal we will interact with
our stakeholders in a manner that is beyond reproach.
The guidelines we follow in interacting with our
stakeholders are summarised as follows:
Employees
- manage our employees in an equitable, trustworthy
and transparent manner;
- value diversity and ensure that the profile of our
workforce reflects the demographic composition
of South Africa;
- actively care for the safety, health and welfare of
all employees; and
- energise our employees to continuously deliver
superior performances.
Investors
- adherence to the laws and regulations governing
our business;
- benchmarking our operations and processes
against international standards;
- provision of regular and comprehensive reports on
our operations, financial results and governance
processes; and
- share the benefits of our operations in an equitable
manner.
Communities
- acceptance of our responsibility to participate in
building capacity and alleviate poverty in the areas
where we operate; and
- accepting that the sustainability of our host
communities extends beyond the finite time frames
associated with our operations.
Customers and business partners
- building mutually beneficial long-term relationships
through the quality of our products, the reliability of
our services and our business integrity; and
- recognising the need to add value throughout the
supply and distribution channels.
Governmental bodies
- respect the laws and regulations governing our
business in the areas where we operate; and
- support national aspirations and policies aimed at
building democratic and prosperous societies.
Media
- acknowledge and respect the media as a primary
channel of communication; and
- engage in open and honest dialogue and expect in
return, fair, balanced and objective reporting.
