This is our seventh year of reporting sustainability issues and the third successive
year that we have integrated sustainability reporting in our annual report, while
providing additional information on the Bidvest website. The annual report covers
the financial year from July 1 2009 to June 30 2010.
Other than in respect of black economic empowerment, Group-wide sustainability
information has been maintained, collated and captured by individual companies
using a common data collation tool. Minor restatements of non-financial
sustainability information from previous periods have been made where errors were
detected or where improved measurement methods led to greater accuracy. Major
restatements have been noted. No significant changes were made to the scope,
boundaries or measurement methods.
Structural changes, realignment of management responsibilities and acquisitions
affect the comparability of some data. The effect of these data inclusions or
exclusions is noted.
Deloitte & Touche has undertaken review procedures to provide reasonable
assurance around specific sustainability indicators. |
