| Imperial’s economic impacts have been externally assured
to the extent that these form part of the annual financial
statements of the group, as published in the integrated annual
report (available online at www.imperial.co.za). The extent of
this assurance is detailed in the audit report of the integrated
annual report.
Other areas of reporting are either reviewed internally through
specific governance structures such as internal audit, or via risk
review processes.
Certain key health and safety aspects are externally assured,
which includes third-party verification of key installations such
as warehouses, as well as ongoing audits of environmental
spillages and facilities by third-party inspectors appointed by
customers. |
