Corporate accountability
In SABMiller, we are committed to achieving sustained commercial success
and growing our shareholder value. We do this not just by meeting the
aspirations of our customers through quality products and services, but also
by operating in a socially responsible manner and by sharing the wealth and
opportunities that the business generates among our stakeholders.
Our aim is a business that has a longterm
viable future, contributing to a world
that has achieved a sustainable balance
between the needs of the economy,
society and the natural environment.
Ultimately there can be no choice
between doing the right thing for the
company and the right thing for society,
if we are to retain our licence to operate,
reduce our operating risks and profit
from commercial opportunities over the
long term.
Group companies manage the
practical challenges that inevitably arise
by seeking to live out our corporate
values and apply our business principles
and policies. SABMiller is operationally
very decentralised, so these core
statements guide our local companies as
they run their businesses in the light of
their own circumstances and the needs
and views of their own stakeholders.
To provide greater detail about how
we are living up to these commitments,
we have again this year published a
separate corporate accountability report,
which is distributed alongside this
annual report and is also available at
www.sabmiller.com.
As we move forward with our
accountability activities, in consultation
with those who take an interest in our
progress, we are increasingly focusing on
a select group of key issues where our
impacts are most apparent and our
responsibility to act is greatest. Our
activities in these focus areas are
summarised below.
