| In May 2005, the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa issued
its second Socially Responsible Investment (“SRI”)
Index. The index is aimed at increasing awareness and management
of sustainable business practices, in particular through adopting
the “triple bottom line” as a way of doing business.
The process, which was conducted and quality assured independently,
involved a detailed assessment against criteria relating to
participants’ policies, strategies and activities in respect
of corporate governance, the environment, the economy and society.
Forty-nine listed companies, including Alexander Forbes, qualified
for inclusion in the index. The accreditation serves to sharpen
our focus on what needs to be done to promote the interests
of all stakeholders to ensure ongoing sustainability. |
