Sustainability review 2009
Overview
The Capitec philosophy is to build a sustainable business. Our reporting on sustainability is thus interwoven into the entire annual report. The following sustainability report must therefore be read in conjunction with the Chairman’s letter to shareholders and the report on corporate governance and risk management to get a clear overview of the sustainable nature of our business.Capitec participated successfully in the JSE SRI (Socially Responsible Investment) index in 2008. Through its successful participation Capitec gained recognition for its continued endeavours to do business in a manner that is beneficial to all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, clients, suppliers, the communities it operates in as well as the environment. This confirms the undertaking of the Capitec Group of companies to maintain healthy governance principles and practices, an ethical and responsible approach towards society and a business operation that is environmentally sensitive and conscious.
