Edcon Retail Academy (Pty) Ltd

Edcon Retail Academy (Pty) Ltd acknowledges that environmental, social and governance issues have an impact on its operations and similarly the Group’s activities have an impact on the environment and society in which it operates. We understand that failing to address issues of non-financial sustainability ultimately affects our business through challenges that may include escalating utility costs, declining staff productivity, regulatory fines or reputational damage. We are involved in a number of social and environmental initiatives where we aim to enhance the communities in which we trade and build a more sustainable future. Our sustainability focus areas are based on the understanding that a sustainability strategy helps the Group innovate to drive competitiveness in a changing world.The Edcon sustainability framework consists of five Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) areas where our sustainability initiatives align most strongly with the value drivers of the organisation. Each of the five key areas has two key objectives on which to focus.
