Introduction
Message from the Chief Executive
As the world emerges from the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, the importance of sustainability issues continues to gain momentum. This past year has been particularly challenging, yet through it all, we have remained true to our values and most importantly, we have increased our focus on value for all our stakeholders.
Hulamin plays many signifi cant roles in our industry, our community and in our country. Not only is our own
sustainability important, but we recognise that we impact on the sustainability of many of our stakeholders. We
understand the gravity of these responsibilities and are committed to making positive contributions in all the roles we play.
We have taken a number of important steps forward in our sustainability endeavours as we progress towards meeting and exceeding the expectations of stakeholders. We are therefore proud to present our third sustainability report as a JSE listed company.
