Transformation and corporate social investment SPONSORSHIP Our Sponsorship Policy aims to facilitate our activity as a dynamic role player and deliver to our business strategy, aligned at all times to our vision and values. Some of our key sponsorships include: Masterchef South Africa MasterChef is internationally the most successful reality cooking show and is by far the most credible cooking show on South African television. Our sponsorship supports our strategic position as THE food authority, and allows us to be part of the growing trend of social cooking, inspiring South Africans to come to Woolworths for good food to cook at home. The Cape Epic Our sponsorship underscores Woolworths position as the leader in good food and a healthy lifestyle. We prepare special meal packs containing foods specifically chosen by the Woolworths dietician according to international guidelines for peak performing endurance athletes. This year marked the fourth year of our sponsorship. Design Indaba Design Indaba is one of the foremost design events in the world, bringing the world’s foremost design thinkers to Cape Town every year. Woolworths has been a sponsor for ten years. Our sponsorship highlights innovation as one of our values and how design and innovation are at the core of decisionmaking around our products and services at Woolworths. It also reaffirms our commitment to design and design education as part of our Good Business Journey. No political donations were made, in line with our policy. 2013 GOOD BUSINESS JOURNEY / WHL 43
CASE STUDY: WOOLWORTHS MAKING THE DIFFERENCE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES In 2003, Woolworths decided to further its investment in communities through the Making the Difference Programme. Drawing on our own expertise on good food and in conjunction with the Western Cape Education Department, the Sports Science Institute of South Africa and its dietetic practitioner Shelly Meltzer and associates, the Making the Difference Programme for primary schools was launched, offering curriculum-linked resources for Grade 4 teachers, as well as a number of experiential components on the topics Healthy Eating and Physical Activity. In 2008, in line with our Good Business Journey, we extended the programme to include Sustainable Living. We’re pleased to say that this programme is now used in over 2 000 schools around the country, and, through its resource material, interactive classroom activities and teacher training, continues to make a valuable contribution to the education and skills development of South Africa’s young people. The content has now been revised and expanded, and the target group broadened to include the entire Intermediate Phase of Grades 4, 5 and 6. The programme now includes three modules: Life Skills for Grades 4 and 5, Social Sciences (Geography) for Grade 4, and Natural Sciences and Technology for Grade 6. Like the previous modules, the three new modules have been developed in collaboration with the Western Cape Education Department, and with contribution from the Marine Stewardship Council, Woolworths Good Business Journey team and our in-house and consulting dieticians. All the material is curriculum based and designed to meet the requirements of the new Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) introduced in January 2013. Our experiential components include: • Curriculum-based store tours focusing on where food comes from and healthy eating. • Learner Talks hosted in the classroom by dieticians. • Class Lessons hosted by trained presenters using storytelling, group participation and movement to convey the messages of healthy and sustainable living. • Moms’ Tours take moms on a tour through a Woolworths store with a dietician, focusing on child nutrition. • Schools are invited to attend EduPlant Workshops teaching them how to grow food naturally using permaculture. • We also invite our schools to participate in a number of events which include Arbour Month activities, beach clean-ups across the country in celebration of International Coastal Clean-up Day, and our annual World Teachers Day competition, run in conjunction with MySchool.
