Managing our business sustainably
As one of the largest manufacturers and
distributors of FMCG products in Africa,
the group acknowledges its responsibility to
actively contribute to the communities and
regions in which it operates by facilitating
sustainable economic growth and social
development.
We are proudly led in this endeavour by our
vision to be the most admired, branded,
FMCG company in emerging markets. This
vision extends beyond simply the supply of
products. Sustainability at Tiger Brands is
framed by a strict adherence to the principles
of good governance and environmental
management.
In managing our business sustainably, we are
driven by our core values, which we aim to
translate into sound, sustainable practices
through our business strategies.
The social, ethics and transformation committee
is responsible for assisting the board in
monitoring the implementation of plans to drive
good corporate citizenship and to protect our
social licence to operate.
