10. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We aim to be South Africa’s most ethical and accountable gaming company and believe that we have a special duty to promote
a culture of responsible gambling. Our ethical foundation is underpinned by the universal ethical and governance principles of
responsibility; accountability; fairness and transparency.
We remain committed to good corporate citizenship, responsible leadership and the responsible management of our obligations to
and impact on all sectors of society.
For the first time the group is reporting on both its positive and negative impacts on society and the interventions in place to ameliorate
against any such negative impact. By way of example, in the year under review, 1 169 problem gamblers at our casinos were referred
for treatment by the NRGP. Since 2002, Sun International has contributed R38 million to the NRGP, with our contribution for the
year under review being R6 million.
Cutting-edge research into problem gambling has continued.
Since its inception, the NRGP has received 32 918 problem gambling calls, with the bulk of the calls being received between noon
and 20h00. In the year under review, the NRGP received 3 104 calls.
We are mindful of creating economic, social and environmental value wherever we conduct our business and continue to strive, by
way of sustainable business practices, to make a positive impact on people, the planet and profits, for the benefit of all stakeholders.
1% of profit after tax is committed to social investment, with a 1.5% of profit after tax contribution to enterprise development. In the
year under review, our total corporate social investment spend was R20 million.
