Stakeholder Engagement

The economic sustainability of Murray & Roberts is dependent on its ability to minimise its impact on the societies within which it operates and the natural environment and to undertake its operations in an ethical way. The ability to apply the appropriate resources to minimise our impact is equally dependent on the sustainability of our earnings.

The issues considered and reported on have been identified through a high level internal process of engagement across the business to determine what would substantively influence the performance of Murray & Roberts and the assessments and decisions of stakeholders. Murray & Roberts will during the course of the next financial year assess its process for reviewing material issues and engage key stakeholders to comment on risks and opportunities that may be associated with the Group’s social, environmental and ethical behaviour.

Our sustainability report has been written in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and the King Code of Governance Principles for South Africa 2009 (King III). Continuous improvement in reporting systems and measures is undertaken to present useful and accurate information. The data provided is derived from the Group’s many operations around the world, and, in some cases, grouped data is not strictly comparable. To further improve the data collection process and ensure comparability year-on-year, the Group will employ independent assurance for the next sustainability report.

The audit committee will oversee the integrated report, including the sustainability report, in the 2011 financial year. The audit committee will review a summary of the GRI.

This sustainability report encompasses the performance of operating subsidiaries that generate sustainability impacts and over whose operating policies and practices Murray & Roberts exercises control or significant influence.

Statistics in this report cover the 12 month period to 30 June 2010. Past sustainability reports are contained in previous annual reports available on www.murrob.com. A GRI index is included at the end of the sustainability report for ease of reference.
