Education Trust. The trust identifies the children of our
previously disadvantaged employees who wish to make a
career in the construction industry and provides them with
bursaries to further their education. This has been a great
initiative so far, resulting in many success stories to date.4.4 Employment Equity Our employment policy actively targets previously disadvantaged individuals. We see the need to empower those less fortunate than us as we can have a direct impact on the improvement of their welfare. Currently, 56 per cent of our management and salaried staff is previously disadvantaged. Afurther focus is the effective advancement of employment equity and skills development while adhering to the principles of non- racialism and non-sexism, accelerating the advancement of black men and women, disabled people and designated groups with the emphasis on bursaries, learnerships and technicaltraining.
4.5 Education Scheme We continuously place our staff on training courses and programmes to challenge them and make sure that they are at the forefront of the construction industry in South Africa. Acollaborative range of skills ensures long-term individual sustainability and skills retention within Tri-Star. Not only do we continually invest in the education of our permanent staff to further enhance the transformation of our workforce, but Tri-Star has also established a Tertiary Education Trust. The trust identifies the children of our previously disadvantaged employees who wish to make a career in the construction industry and provides them with bursaries to further their education. This has been a great initiativesofar, resultingin many successstories to date.
4.6 CSI Tri-Star iscommitted to upliftingthequality of life for thecommunities where wework. Bysharing our knowledgeand skillsand being sociallyresponsible,wearecontributing to the empowerment of the people in the communities around us. We embrace the philosophy of giving back to the community by being proactive in Tri-Star’s various initiatives. Diepsloot Informal Settlement Community Tri-Star is the main contractor to the Riverside Development which is one of the 5 Mega City’s in and around Gauteng. The Diepsloot Region and surrounding informal Settlements benefits largely from employment and sub contract opportunities. Tri-Star provided material for new shacks when the blue gum trees were felled, as the trees were a threat to the shacks. Pheagane ‘Jakes’Maponya, Regional Head, Housing Region A: “I would like to take this opportunity in expressing my sincere appreciation of your kind donation of shack rebuilding material for twenty shacks. With your generous giving, the destitute families could easily rebuild their shacks after City Parks cut the trees which threatened their lives.” We encourage our staff to use local suppliers wherever possible to stimulate community development in the area. On an ongoing process we have engaged with the larger suppliers to form partnerships with local smaller businesses and create new employment and small business opportunities . With our support, the small hardware concerns have the opportunity to grow and employ more local people.
4.7 Environmental Awareness Tri-Star is conscious of minimising the impact that our buildings have on the environment. We are therefore a member of the Green Building Council of South Africa. We strive to align ourselves with this Council by constructing buildings that are energy efficient, resource efficient and environmentally responsible. We have actively been involved with International Housing Solutions (IHS) and the Green Council in developinga‘housing appropriate’greenaccreditation internationally known as EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies). We are proud to say that several EDGE accredited projects have been completed to date.
4.8 Corporate Governance Our Board of Directors fully appreciates the growing demand for accountability, honesty and transparency in fulfilling their fiduciary duties towards our shareholders and all other stakeholders of the company. We are fully compliant with all material aspects of the King III Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa, as a minimum standard. We have a strict ‘anti-collusion and anti- corruption’ policy which is applied throughout the organisation.
