Our impact on the NDP and UN SDGs

OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED NATIONS SDGS AND THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for improving the living standards of the world’s population, protecting the environment, and eliminating gender and income inequality. Globally, they are used as a benchmark to measure the contributions made by businesses, industry, and other organisations to the process of sustainable development. We measure our development contributions within this framework as well as within the framework of South Africa’s National Development Plan (NDP).

The aim of the NDP is to significantly reduce poverty and inequality by 2030. The framework it provides consists of 15 chapters that focus on critical issues such as unemployment, education, infrastructure development, inclusive economic development, access to quality healthcare, environmental sustainability, and corruption.

In line with the SDGs and the NDP, we aim to create sustainable value for all stakeholders and minimise the negative impacts we have on the communities in which we operate as well as on the natural environment.
