INVESTING IN A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE |
Our sustainable future strategy supports delivery on our core purpose, communicates our forward-looking approach to sustainability, and orients the business towards improved environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.

The strategy articulates our societal value-proposition and reflects our commitment to addressing our most material impacts and to creating broader social, economic and environmental value.
The strategy comprises three clear focus areas: health and nutrition; enhanced livelihoods; and environmental stewardship. Our commitments under these pillars drive the pursuit of commercial opportunities in health and nutrition, the systematic transformation of our supply chain to promote more inclusive economic development, and the adoption of environmentally responsible production practices. These goal areas are underpinned by a set of critical anchors, relating to the following areas: food safety and quality; ethical supply chain practices; safety, health and environment; responsible marketing; and transparency, partnerships and stakeholder responsiveness.
Health and nutrition | Enhanced livelihoods | Environmental stewardship | ||||
OUR COMMITMENTS AND KEY ACTIONS | ||||||
We are committed to enabling consumers to improve their health and wellbeing by providing food products that are more nutritious and affordable, developing best-in-class nutritional standards, and leveraging our brand and marketing activities to promote consumer nutrition. |
We will improve the livelihoods of thousands of people by providing opportunities across our value chain for inclusive economic participation, including the provision of financial and non-financial support to black-owned and black women-owned enterprises and smallholder farmers, through our supplier and farmer development programmes, and preferential procurement policies. In addition, we contribute at least 1,5% of net profit after tax annually, towards socio-economic development activities that promote sustainable thriving communities. |
We will improve our environmental performance by implementing innovative solutions that optimise energy and water consumption in our operations, reduce the negative impacts of packaging, and minimise waste, effluent and emissions. We are exploring opportunities for circular economy initiatives that stimulate sustainable economic opportunities, as well as leveraging our brand and marketing to inspire positive behaviour change in consumers. |
