    Vision and Mission

    Our Vision:
    To be a world-class manufacturer of primary and secondary plastic packaging products within a sustainable and all-inclusive environment.

    Our Mission:
    To be the preferred supplier of plastic packaging in our chosen markets and market sectors.

    Encapsulated within our vision and mission are the principles of being a world-class manufacturer and a preferred supplier to our clients. By definition, this will require us to rank amongst the foremost packaging companies both internationally and in South Africa.

    We believe that neither of these principles can be achieved without fully integrating sustainability in all its facets into the Group’s core strategy. This core strategy is built on developing and empowering our people and improving the productivity of our assets by adopting world-class principles within various disciplines.

     

    Strategic direction

    While our strategic direction has remained consistent, the Executive Committee has engaged in a process to clarify certain aspects and targets to align it to changes in our business environment. The achievement of our strategic objectives will remain built on the following main pillars:

    - Developing and empowering our people as we continue to invest significantly in skills development and training to ensure a pipeline of talent to meet our future “skills” requirements.
    - Maximising the utilisation and returns from our asset base by improving the efficiency and reliability of our operations.
    - Minimising our environmental impact by monitoring and reporting actuals against our stated targets for emissions reductions and energy efficiency.

    Supporting all our actions will be our shared values of integrity, excellence, empowerment and customer focus.
