We prioritise respect for our employees, customers, suppliers, and all other individuals by ensuring the privacy of their personal information, making ethical and respectful use of data and technologies, and applying appropriate record retention to personal and business information. To uphold these values, we have invested in world-class software to track and manage our POPIA compliancy effectively.
Social
As a large, people-centred employer, our ESG efforts prioritise making the widest possible social impact, both internally and within the communities we operate in and depend on. We recruit, develop, and reward talented individuals to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of our business.
Our external Social Economic Development efforts focus on education and supporting children and youth throughout their learning journey, from primary schooling to vocational or tertiary education and ultimately to employment. PnS actively promotes inclusion and diversity through initiatives led by the Inclusion and Diversity Committee (IDC).
Actively sponsored by senior management, the work of the IDC has enabled the achievement of significant milestones, including a Level 1 B-BBEE rating. Various inclusion focused programs have become integral to our operations, fostering a representative and welcoming workplace.
