The diversity of our people constitutes a principal, innate strength within our business;
The BBBEE initiative provides a sound building block from which to transform and grow our operations;
We believe that a fully empowered organization is defined by an inclusive knowledge sharing structure;
The BBBEE initiative presents a significant opportunity to normalise the domestic economy and to contribute to tangible economic growth.
