Our belief that doing good is good business ensures that we are focused not only on creating value for our shareholders, but for all our stakeholders. For over five decades Pick n Pay has played a valuable role in the economic and social development of Southern Africa. We make a positive direct contribution to the communities we serve through the supply of high-quality, affordable food, clothing and merchandise, and provide significant employment and economic opportunity across our value chain. We add to this value through our comprehensive sustainability strategy, which is inextricably linked to our business strategy.
