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 />
