Socio-Economic
Objectives
Profitability is essential
in discharging socio-economic responsibility, as well as
staying in business. It is a measure of both efficiency
and the value placed upon us by our customers. It is the
duty of management to prioritise and discharge
responsibilities in areas that we value, such as:
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
Consistent with our
commitment to contribute to sustainable development, we
have a systematic approach to HSE Management in order to
achieve continuous performance improvement.
We manage HSE matters like
any other critical business activity. Targets are set
for improvement, measurement, appraisal and report
performance. Regular meetings are held for this purpose.
Corporate Governance Principles
The Board of Directors,
collectively, determines major strategies and policies
of the company. The Directors acknowledge that they are
responsible for instituting internal control systems
that should provide reasonable assurance regarding
safeguarding assets, as well as the maintenance of
proper accounting records.
Black Economic
Empowerment
African Tramways is a
wholly owned BEE Company that was established in 1998.
The company was formed to
finally provide answers to the seemingly frustrating
questions:
"We want to deal with
Empowerment Companies; we want to form partnerships with
them; we sincerely want to extend a hand of friendship
and join hands in building the future of South Africa.
But where do we find these Empowerment Companies? Are
they professional enough to deal with our situation? How
do we get in touch with them?"
