CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY 2017/2018

 ORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT
C
AND RESPONSIBILITY 2017/2018

In 2018 Nelson Mandela would have celebrated his hundredth birthday. To
honour his centenary we are encouraged to live up to his legacy, embody his
values and reflect his compassion – in every one of our actions. At Peermont we
strive to live up to this example when our properties invest, volunteer and assist
in local communities who need our support.

In 2017 our Corporate Social Investment and Responsibility mission was to ensure
long-term sustainable development which empowers local businesses, learners,
students, and community structures to grow in the future. We advocated the
tools to develop skills, foster growth and provide solid educational foundations
in order to enact proactive and genuine change in those communities.

It’s not always about the Rand amount, but how the funds are used - and
during the last year we donated more than R39 million to deserving projects
and initiatives, to ensure they can grow successfully and become sustainable
in the future. Where the last year saw many businesses cut back on spend, we
continued to invest time, resources and funds to empowering the pioneers of
today to grow the leaders, entrepreneurs and game changers of tomorrow.

Thank you to all our trustees, administrative staff, volunteers and the Peermont
team for their dedication and time to making a difference in the lives of those
who really need it.

Group Chief Executive Officer

“There can be no
greater gift than
that of giving one’s
time and energy to
helping others without
expecting anything in
return.”
Nelson Mandela

Our Philosophy
Corporate social investment is not merely writing cheques. To make a meaningful
difference and to ensure genuine change, it requires winning partnerships that
assist with community development, empower educational and entrepreneurial
growth, and improve the odds of a better tomorrow.

At Peermont we have gone all in to making a significant contribution towards
Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) and sustainable
community development. Through targeted financial assistance, skills training
and leadership support from our various Peermont Trusts and other Corporate
Social Investment and Responsibility initiatives, we have invested in a series of
projects falling within our three CSI pillars:

Education and Youth Development
           Entrepreneurial Development
                     Community Infrastructure

We are proud to be South Africa’s gaming industry leader in corporate social
and responsibility investment and pledge to ensure business profitability, whilst
fulfilling our obligation to improve the wellbeing of the communities in which
each of our 12 properties operate.

The objective of the Grade R Programme is to create a stimulating teaching and

eligible to select Mathematics and Science in Grade 10. In 2017 the programme

training and development. Learners from the Ekurhuleni region spend two months

backgrounds and poor communities, and
the opportunity to get a foot in the
door of a rewarding career is hard to
come by,” says Tshidi Madima, PCBT
Chairperson. The course teaches
learners valuable skills in a relevant
working environment thus providing
vital practical experience along
with a Skills Proficiency Certificate
