Sustainability review

Against national and global guidelines, we are steadily improving the way we manage and report the key elements of sustainability as an integrated aspect of our business strategy.

This section has been prepared against the requirements of the FTSE4Good index, IIRC framework and King IV, as well as governance guidelines in the JSE Listings Requirements. Tiger Brands fully supports the principles of the United Nations Global Compact which recognise the positive contribution business can make to a more sustainable planet.

In developing an integrated sustainability strategy, we are concentrating on the constituent pillars that will enable us to reach our goal of creating shared value for all stakeholders:
