Our commitment to sustainability

Hulamin Containers ability to achieve long-term strategic objectives is closely linked to our commitment to sustainable development. We believe that we have a responsibility to respond to the ever increasing challenges in the economic, social and environmental spheres in which we operate.

Human Capital

At Hulamin, we strive to be a great place to work and to be an employer of choice. We do this by engaging and developing our employees in order for them to realise their unique potential.

Hulamin strives to foster a work environment where people can feel comfortable engaging in honest, open dialogue about hard topics such as cultural stereotypes and biased methods, without judgement or career limitation. We believe that a diverse workforce is an essential factor in building innovative capabilities. As an organisation operating within the South African context, we regard employment equity as a special intervention required to address a situation resulting from black people having been previously disadvantaged in South Africa. Employment equity is an integral component of the business strategy and is focused on:

The elimination of unfair discrimination within the workplace; and

The implementation of affirmative-action measures to achieve equitable representation of designated groups across all occupational levels within the organisation.

Transformation is overseen by the Social, Ethics and Sustainability Committee and managed by an internal transformation committee, which is coordinated by the Group Human Capital division. Business unit transformation forums are responsible for the implementation of transformation at an operational level. Embracing and accelerating diversity across all levels within the company remains a priority and is one of Hulamin's key strategic pillars. Therefore, special attention has been given to areas where this aspiration has not been realised yet.

Hulamin is committed to the wellbeing of employees and to providing a safe working environment that ensures that the business continues to function effectively and efficiently.

Hulamin's strong safety leadership drives the message that safety is each employee's responsibility, instilling the awareness that "I am my brother's and sister's keeper". To ensure that the required level of ownership is shown by all, Hulamin's three-way approach to accountability includes all employees, the safety leadership team and a team of specialists. Since successfully receiving ISO 45001:2018 certification in 2020 Hulamin has continued to fulfil all the associated requirements and is determined to retain this certification in 2023. The Group strives to continuously develop robust systems, transparent procedures, efficient processes, clear objectives and measurable results. Internal audits are carried out regularly to support Hulamin's continuous improvement process. External audits by independent auditors are carried out annually in order to ensure the validity of certifications.

Employee health is another key focus, to manage the three components of occupational health, medicine and hygiene, a healthcare centre is staffed by employees with the appropriate skills, competencies and qualifications in the field of medicine and occupational health nursing practices.

The clinic provides a comprehensive medical surveillance programme for employees. This programme is tailored around health risks that may have been identified by the occupational hygiene surveys conducted in the manufacturing departments
