We are committed to fostering the growth and sustainability of businesses that contribute to job creation and economic development. Our Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) programme is a key element of our sustainability strategy, designed to empower small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through financial and non-financial support. By investing in South African black-owned enterprises and suppliers, we aim to facilitate their growth and success as well as to create economic and non-economic value for our ESD partners.
