ROLE AND PURPOSE

The board included responsibility in the committee's title and mandate. As part of the company's governance review and as an agile response to organisational change, the board chose to strengthen the committee's mandate by entrenching responsible corporate citizenship as part of the committee's focused activities.

It was of paramount importance, being mindful of a difficult business climate which included a change in company strategy, that we maintained organisational ethics in how we conduct our operations.

The SERC performed a pivotal role in the deliberate pursuit of enhanced governance through oversight and regular monitoring of the organisation's actions and outputs, particularly, in the wake of heightened ESG sensitivity, with concern for employee's integrated wellness, health and safety; and in light of stark social inequalities, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

TERMS OF REFERENCE

The committee's terms of reference were extensively reviewed in 2021 to include responsible corporate citizenship in its role and responsibilities, which amendment was approved by the board. The terms of reference are aligned with legislation, regulations and King IV.

CONFIRMATION

The SERC confirmed that, in carrying out its prescribed duties, it duly regarded the principles and recommended practices of King IV and has discharged its responsibilities in accordance with its terms of reference and the Companies Act during the year. The committee is satisfied that it fulfilled its mandate and that there are no material instances of non-compliance to disclose and, if any material non-compliance existed, it was duly considered during the year.

The committee remains committed to contributing positively to the responsible pursuit of the SDGs, "the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all people and the world by 2030".
