In terms of our management approach, all injuries including first-aid cases, medical treatment, lost time
injuries and fatalities are recorded by site safety offices at our operations when they occur, involving both
employees and contractors. Clinic records are reviewed monthly to verify the accuracy of safety office
records and to ensure that all injuries have been adequately classified according to our group policies
and procedures. Safety office monthly reports are signed off by the risk managers at each of our
operations, prior to their use in operational monthly management meetings. Quarterly reports are signed
off by site management before submission to the Group Risk Manager who consolidates the group data
for review by the Executive Committee, the Board and relevant Board committees. The accuracy,
consistency, completeness and reliability of safety data is assured by an independent third party
annually, using no fewer than three site visits to test the robustness of policies, procedures, systems and
controls.
DIVERSITY AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
In line with the UN Global Compact Principle and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and
Rights at Work, Illovo is not only committed to the principle of upholding the elimination of discrimination
in respect of employment and occupation, but is also committed to eliminating the effects of past
discriminatory practices in this regard.
To realise fully the growth of our organisation, we work towards ensuring that our workforce sufficiently
reflects the demographic profile in terms of race and gender of the economically active population of the
regions in which we operate. While abiding by local laws and regulations, we actively promote equal
opportunity and fair treatment in employment through the elimination of unfair discrimination. We also
encourage inclusiveness with regard to human resource practices, irrespective of race, gender,
nationality or religious affiliation in an effort to promote global diversity throughout our workforce. For
instance, there is no arbitrary distinction on remuneration levels based on any of these grounds and any
differentiation is based on objective grounds largely related to performance and market considerations,
although in some cases, it is based on length of service as a product of past agreements with trade
unions.
