SUN INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT ’10<br />
ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT<br />
Our commitment to improving our enterprise development programme<br />
was highlighted in the year under review by allocating 1.5% after tax<br />
earnings to this vital contribution to B-BBEE and by the appointment of a<br />
dedicated enterprise development manager.<br />
The hospitality business lends itself to supporting enterprises which can<br />
add value to the industry as a whole and, in particular, enterprises which<br />
are linked to our supply chain. We have identified a number of businesses<br />
ranging from a laundry run by physically disabled people to a beauty spa;<br />
cleaning companies; a draping business and an audio-visual/sound system<br />
operation.<br />

The B-BBEE Act recognises five contribution categories for companies<br />
who support black-owned businesses to grow and prosper: grants; loans;<br />
equity investments; contributions made in the form of human resources<br />
input and other contributions.<br />
In the short term, the group is focused on human resources contributions<br />
and improving the cash flow of its current suppliers who meet the criteria<br />
as enterprise development beneficiaries.<br />
Settling of suppliers earlier than the normal terms of 30 days from invoice<br />
helps our ED beneficiaries effectively manage their cash flow situation.<br />
Going forward, the target is to achieve 10 points for ED by December<br />
2010. We are well on track to achieve this.<br />
