INTEGRATING ESG AND SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR STRATEGY

The visual depiction of our strategy below illustrates our approach to ESG and sustainability, which is premised on:

Creating
value

Identifying commercial opportunities to address ESG challenges.

Protecting value

Identifying and responding early to ESG-related risks.

Enabling
value

Leading broader change by using our influence through collaboration across the value chain.

Sustainability drivers

Furthermore, we have identified five sustainability drivers which are based on assigning value to the capital assets we depend on for our economy and society to flourish, as they are all interdependent.

Our sustainability drivers are:
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Social responsibility
  • Financial resilience
  • Inclusivity
  • Environmental protection


Our strategy is underpinned by good corporate governance which is implemented in an integrated manner, promoting an ethical culture, good performance, effective control and legitimacy.
