Introduction

This report provides additional detailed information on Imperial Holdings’ economic, environmental and social impacts, covering the most material sustainability issues affecting our operations. It is intended to be read in conjunction with the 2013 integrated report available at www.imperial.co.za, which covers our financial performance. Together the two reports provide stakeholders with a comprehensive view of our activities, impacts, practices and future direction.

We believe this report covers all material topics and indicators and represents a balanced and reasonable view of our organisation’s economic, environmental and social performance for the 12-month reporting period and does not omit significant information that could influence a stakeholder’s assessment of our operations.

During the course of the year, as various events take place, we provide updates on selected material issues via media releases. This new information is also made publicly available on our website.
