Introduction |
| This year, in keeping with many other
South African and global corporates,
we have elected to publish our
Sustainability Report online, separate
to the annual report. Reporting this
year is tightly focused and designed to
provide comprehensive yet benchmarked
information to shareholders
and other interested stakeholders.
We have also changed the makeup
of the report to consolidate certain
information in a more accessible way,
notably our report on transformation,
a crucial South African initiative. |

Overview |
Publishing a sustainable development report is integral to communicating
how the group is facilitating transformation within the company as well
as its social and environmental performance in the societies and
economies in which the group operates.
This report covers the group’s operations globally where it has equity
and management interests and includes foreign sales offices which it
manages.
The majority of the group’s operations and employees are based in South
Africa and Southern Africa. The group is currently constructing a casino
near Santiago in Chile and is operating a hotel in Lagos, Nigeria.
As a group, we believe that long term value for all our stakeholders will
be created by adopting a holistic approach to sustainability in which
economic, social and environmental performance is measured within a
framework of the highest standards of corporate governance and ethics.
Through various social programmes, initiatives and commitments both at
national and business unit level, Sun International’s contribution to
corporate social investment (CSI), in line with its policy and guidelines,
amounted to 2% of after tax profit in this financial year. This is above the
average for South African companies of a comparable size. This
contribution to CSI excludes enterprise development initiatives and in
the year ahead, efforts will be concentrated on both ED and CSI.
The underlying philosophies which dictate our approach to sustainability
are reflected in the activities which we cover. |

Vision and
Strategy |
The key driver of our
sustainability is our mission,
which is: |
‘To be recognised internationally as a successful
leisure group offering superior gaming, hotel
and entertainment experiences, that exceed our
customers’ expectations.
To create an environment in which all employees
are well trained, motivated and take pride in
working for the group.
Innovation, fun and an obsession with service
excellence and efficiency will make Sun
International a formidable competitor and
provide our shareholders with superior returns.
We will at all times remain mindful of our
responsibility towards all our stakeholders,
including the communities we serve.’ |
