The committee met four times during the year. During

the key areas of B-BBEE transformation and skills
development, ethics and social responsibilities.
The group has suitable policies and frameworks
in place to sustain its commitment to social and
economic development, fair labour practices,
environmental responsibility and good corporate
citizenship.
Compliance with legislation, regulations, as well as
codes of best practice were adhered to during the
financial year ended March 2017.
