Managing Director’s Statement

Our road to sustainability at Schweppes Holdings Africa Limited began in

earnest during the year 2016 when we conducted a social and economic impact study as the Coca-Cola system in Zimbabwe which included our beverage business – Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited. The realization that our business makes such significant contribution to the economy and affects the well-being of many stakeholders required a more deliberate effort of managing the social, economic and environmental touch points to build a strong relevant business. The year 2017 saw a greater effort at obtaining commitment from the business leadership and key individuals at tracking sustainability metrics based on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals led by the Marketing and Public Affairs function. We had various employees attend training sessions on Sustainability and Sustainability Reporting GRI guidelines facilitated by well-seasoned practitioners some of whom continue to walk alongside us as we increase our thrust to be

citizen.

a sustainable business. The work involved determining key areas that are material to sustainability for our business. At the core, we have Economic performance, Occupational Safety and Health, Water, Energy, Waste, Human Rights, Compliance, Communities, Climate change, Employment and Labour Relations, Social Responsibility, Grievance Handling and Sustainability Governance as key focus areas. Our beverage business unit by virtue of being part of The global Coca-Cola System was well positioned to lead the process by focusing on additional metrics besides the energy and water which have long been tracked and reported on as part of TCCC reporting requirements. The focus of the 2017 report is therefore solely on our beverage division – Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited. In the coming year, we will be reporting on sustainability progress within the whole group. SZL have numerous Quality, Health, safety and environment certifications which have assisted to ensure that our

internal operations meet international standards. Safety is a priority for the organization for both internal and external audiences who enter our premises. Our thrust is to operate with zero injuries by taking a proactive stance and supplying adequate resources to management for that purpose. The business unit is audited on a frequent basis by TCCC and we are pleased to report having passed all 2017 quality audits. The business has over the years invested in many community development initiatives purely out of being a responsible corporate citizen. Most of these projects have formed part of the sustainability successes that we will be sharing in this and future reports. We have supported vendors to participate in our value chain and supported other health, education and sport related social activities. Employee wellness also plays a key part of our social investment which has seen us supporting our staff participation in such activities as walkathons, marathons and triathlon. The business sponsors a lot of similar sporting events as well for the benefit of communities. The areas of health in our nation is in critical need of support and we have played our part by not only engaging our employees on healthy lifestyles and awareness of certain health scares but also supporting hospitals and private organization such as Parirenyatwa, Harare Hospitals, Kidzcan, Operation of Hope and many others in various ways for the benefit of patients. Women’s empowerment will continue to be a key focus area of support both internally and externally now and in the future. We have 20% female staff in various capacities in the organisation with 25% females in senior managerial roles. Externally, we have set up 200 female vendors in business as part of TCCC global initiative to empower 5million women by 2020 – 5by20. The business has begun in earnest to track carbon emissions during the reporting period to enable reduction of our carbon footprint. We will see significant strides in the coming year towards setting and tracking of targets around carbon emissions to

mitigate the negative effects of climate change. Strict management of water and energy metrics will continue with a view to implementing big projects such as solar electrification as part of our future business plans. Our shareholding in the PET Recycling Company of Zimbabwe – Petrecozim as pioneers of the company together with a few like-minded corporates, was a strategic move to facilitate reduction of our carbon footprint. We have made significant capital and operating expenditure investments on an annual basis and will be working closely with the management team to ensure a steady increase in the amount of post-consumer PET packaging from our operations that is being recycled. We have also been involved in packaging reuse projects that has seen our CSR investment targeting disadvantaged groups that are able to earn a living from reusing our packaging creatively. As Schweppes Holdings Africa Limited increases focus on matters of sustainability, the following UN Sustainable Development Goals which are most relevant to our business will take centre stage and we will measure our performance on these diligently:• Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation• Goal 12: Responsible Production

and Consumption• Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing• Goal 5: Gender Equality• Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic

Growth• Goal 13: Climate ActionBeing the current chair of the Business Council for Sustainable Development in Zimbabwe, I am personally committed to leading Schweppes Holdings Africa Limited on this journey of sustainability reporting despite that fact that our business is currently not a listed entity. This is a matter of integrity and accountability for leading and managing a socially responsible business that will endure well into the future.

Journey

Unaiswi Nyikadzino

MARKETING AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS DIRECTOR

It is a privilege to be championing sustainability within the Group. The journey is not without its challenges, such as that of obtaining buy-in and commitment from individuals across the organization. Sustainability is everyone’s business. It does not sit in one function but permeates through-out the organization that is committed to doing the right thing. All organizational processes and systems of operation present an opportunity for us to impact the environment and society in a more positive way for the benefit of future generations. The SDG Compass has been a useful tool is helping us to navigate this broad topic and develop greater understanding and focus on how we can drive most of the 17 SDGs from within our business.

Our focus on sustainable business practices goes beyond our organization to include our suppliers who are a key stakeholder in our business and provide our company with raw materials, goods and services.

Reporting what matters

As a growing business that is sensitive to the needs of its stakeholders and the issues that

are key to drive our business growth and prosperity we believe that our business model should be anchored on sustainability. Our material issues are categorised into economic, social and environmental indicators that reflect on the performance of our business in the period under review.

Determination of materiality for this reporting period was spearheaded by the Sustainability Reporting Team that is headed by the Marketing and Public Affairs Department. The team comprised of representatives from all departments of SZL in order to seek value-adding information from all parts of the organisation. The material issues were also identified through a formal meeting of the Committee as well as at departmental level and these are escalated to the Executive of the organisation to facilitate endorsement. Constant liaison with employees at all levels allows the organisation to identify existing material issues as well as emerging issues that should be reported on. Other material issues have been identified due to statutory obligations of the organisation and we continually work to incorporate them into operations to ensure full compliance.

As this is our first Sustainability Report, we ensured that we also reported on the Sustainable Development Goals

SDGs that are relevant to our business operations. Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited recognises that for Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved, as the private sector we have a key role to play throughout our operations and value chain. The report has also only selected the SDGs that are most relevant to SZL in order to report what matters. A prioritisation process was carried out by the Sustainability Reporting Team in order to determine the SDGs that are of most material effect to SZL and this provided the basis of building the report and indicators.

The analysis of materiality identified various issues including the emissions, energy, water, chemicals, compliance, climate change, employment, labour practices, employment, human rights, safety as well as economic contributions to the community. As this is our first report including sustainability aspects, we carefully selected material issues that could be managed in the initial reporting period. The matrix on the next page shows material issues as well as their prioritisation and importance. In determining materiality we also determined the Sustainable Development Goals as key to our reporting and transparency.

We have developed the 2017 Sustainability Report on the basis of issues that are material and relevant to our business. The determination of material issues has been guided by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Framework G4 Guidelines and coordinated by our Sustainability Reporting Team of Experts drawn from various departments of the organisation.

Determination of materiality for this reporting period was spearheaded by the Sustainability Reporting

Team that is headed by the Marketing and Public Affairs

Department.

5by20TM Women Empowerment

Initiative

The global realisation that women play a key role in society is widely recognised as a key to sustainable human development. Given this realisation, we have implemented the “5by20TM” Initiative to facilitate empowerment and access to equal opportunities of women.

Year daily sales P/Cs Daily Gross Revenue Monthly Net Profit Annual Net Profit Growth

2014 1.5 $15 $66 $792

2015 3 $30 $108 $1296 61%

2016 6 $72 $360 $4320 30%

2017 8 $90 $441 $5295 82%

SZL adopted the 5by20TM initiative in 2015 after the global call from The Coca Cola Company to empower

5 million women by 2020 through the The Coca Cola Company global value chain. Given the crucial role of women in our system and the economic barriers women face, The Coca Cola Company made women’s empowerment a priority through the 5by20TM initiative. The 5by20TM initiative aims to enable the economic empowerment of 5 million women in our global value chain by 2020. Women are not only pillars of our business but also pillars of their communities. Women invest a sizeable portion of the money they earn in the health and education of their children and their local communities creating a tremendous economic ripple. Women empowered through 5by20TM have managed to send their children to school as

well as buy land for domestic development. Unleashing the entrepreneurial potential of women is the surest way to make businesses sustainable and the most effective way we can help families and communities prosper. When we invest in the success of women, we invest in our own success and in the success of communities around us. There is a low rate of absenteeism from women vendors which ensure success of SZL business and consistent income for their families. Since the adoption of the initiative, SZL has experienced year on year growth in volumes, ensuring consistent revenue growth. 5by20TM initiative has enabled SZL to contribute to the Goal 5 - Gender Equality, to expand economic growth, social development and enhance business performance. SZL has made a conscious effort to recruit female vendors on a yearly basis

since 2014 hence affording women the opportunity to trade in a once dominated male industry. SZL has managed to expand business relationships with women owned enterprises, including small businesses and women entrepreneurs. Currently a total of 200 women vendors have been empowered through SZL’s 5by20TM initiative. The empowerment of women through the 5by20TM Initiative has achieved significant impacts in revenue growth. Realising that women also bear the brunt in communities in the face of climate change, water scarcity and energy; we believe empowering them will facilitate the building of stronger communities.

Occupational Safety and Health - OSH

Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited believes that a safe and healthy workforce is a productive workforce.

The company has embedded a safety culture in all its operations aiming to achieve zero harm. In line with this thrust, we have adopted Occupational Safety and Health Policy at company level. We continue to promote the risk assessment process and also accident prevention culture. We believe that everyone is their “brother’s keeper”. Through the implementation of policies, procedures, operational controls and behavioural approaches we are able to manage hazards including being able to respond to emergency situations.

SZL Implements an Occupational Safety and Health Management System based on OHSAS 18001:2007. Contractor management and supervision helps us to monitor, assess and improve the safety performance of our contractors. As our sustainability reporting framework grows we are strengthening the mainstreaming of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) performance in the supplier evaluation starting in the year 2018. The organisational structure has appointed a Safety Health and Environmental Manager to coordinate issues of employee safety.

Everyday our families expect us to return home without injuries and also expect our workplaces to be free from any fatalities happening as a result of work related incidents

Our Safety Performance

During the Year 2017 our safety programmes continued to encourage employees to

mainstream safety and health principles in their departmental processes. There were zero (0) fatalities at Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited and this was achieved through teamwork, dedication and effective awareness. We unfortunately had 2 lost time injuries at the company. The number of contractors injured on our site was zero (0) and we continued

to emphasise the need for contractor safety management. The number of medical cases was 7 in the period under review. As an organisation we strive to ensure that employees receive proper medical care in the event of work related injuries. All incidents are reported and investigated in order to find a root cause and to institute corrective action. Our SHE internal audit teams in 2017 carried out safety audits in order to identify opportunities for improvement.

In order to promote an injury free workplace in 2017 we implemented the following initiatives to promote a

safe working culture:

• Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) Card System

• Near miss reporting incentive scheme• Monthly awareness

Looking ahead, we shall continue to encourage employees to aim for the highest standards in safety including the adoption of ZERO LTI Competition to commence January 2018.

We have since realised that when employees are involved in occupational safety and health initiatives, they take full ownership and responsibility and are also encouraged to influence others in promoting safe working behaviours.Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited believes that all incidents can be prevented and hence should not be allowed to happen in the first place. Our Top Management continues to show advanced commitment to employee safety by provision of adequate resources, participation and consultation as specified in international safety standards.

Wellness activities were incorporated in the corporate calendar in 2017 including

activities that were carried out in collaboration with Bon Marche. Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited promotes healthy lifestyles of its employees, contractors, stakeholders and communities. Our wellness programme also promoted the prevention of HIV/AIDS as well as non-communicable diseases.

Realising that the communities in which we live give us significant support throughout the value chain, we partnered with stakeholders such as Bon Marche in sporting events within the community. This was a mechanism to promote healthy living, exercising and promoting fitness within the communities. The promotion of the wellness initiatives will also ensure that we get employees that practice wellness virtues.

Case Study: Partnership with Bon Marche on Marathons and Wellness

Promoting healthy lifestyles through sport and fitness, should be inculcated in our society as a means of dealing with lifestyle conditions affecting the world in the 21st Century.

In 2017 Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited participated in Bon Marche Marathons and Wellness activities. We pride ourselves for the collaboration with Bon Marche in building communities with wellness as the hallmark of their lifestyles.

Bon Marche, through its “Live Life, Feel Good” initiative, created The Bon Marche Powerwalk and Walk-Aerobics series, which are wellness challenges where individuals are invited to showcase their fitness levels through running, walking or aerobics. There are 4 series each year, spread throughout each quarter of the year. Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited has partnered with Bon Marche for the past 2 years - 2016 and 2017, where Bonaqua has been made the official water for the events. The deal was brokered by Key Accounts, while our Special

Events Team has spearheaded the initiative through effective manning of water points and hydrating participants both in course and at the main venues. Our participation has been extended to ALL@SHAL, with associates being encouraged to participate as part of the Schweppes Holdings Africa Limited (SHAL) Wellness Initiative. Up to 100 SHAL members participate at each Marathon. This has turned out to be a very strong team building initiative, and the bonds have spilled over into a WhatsApp Platform group created by the Special Events team – SHALSPORT, whereby over 140 SHAL associates communicated daily on issues pertaining to sport. A weekly quiz has also been established on the platform, initiated by the General Manager in the first instance, and now championed by Customer Marketing. All this has created

a very good team building platform for associates from across all ranks and title in the organization. Sports teams have also been formed and encouraged to compete with other organizations as part of their health and wellness programs. A health body is a healthy mind. Through the Sports initiatives, deals were brokered and business relationships were also fostered, SZL has addressed Sustainable Development Goal 3 - Good Health and Well Being, giving access to its employees and other members of the community to participate in healthier living activities. This has helped improve social interactions between members of staff as they discuss issues relating to sport and wellness. Part of the exercise involves health care practitioners giving hints and tips on promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Climate change and Energy

Our organisation has stepped up climate mitigation and adaptation activities. In order

to contribute to mitigation, we are monitoring our energy intensity and in order to facilitate adaptation we are implementing efficient water utilisation and setting targets for specific water consumption. Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited has started monitoring Greenhouse Gas Emissions and has ensured that emissions from various sources are tracked.

We also are committed to ensure that Zimbabwe contributes to its international commitments as specified by the Paris Agreement and the Nationally Determined Contributions. Zimbabwe has committed to reducing its Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 33% by the year 2030 in comparison to pre-industrial levels. Our emissions in the year 2017 were monitored on a quarterly basis in line with regulatory requirements. We have also mainstreamed requirements

of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) as well as Environmental Management Act 20:27.

Moving ahead, we look forward to support the ongoing efforts to implement a National Climate Policy. The company has already started exploring the possibility of adopting renewable energy technologies including solar energy. Our work is in line with national efforts and contributes to attaining the goals of the proposed Renewable Energy Policy.

We have started in 2017 to track our carbon footprint from Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions. However, the company is still requiring significant improvements in selected departments in order to boost capacities of tracking emissions. This is still an area requiring improvement. Our report will provide historical data on Scope 1 emissions as well as Scope 2 emissions electricity.

We use various energy sources at the Schweppes Zimbabwe limited Harare plant. Electricity

supports a significant portion of our operations and our Annual Electricity Consumption for the Year 2017 was 4791030kwh. Our operations also use fossil fuels such as coal, diesel, petrol and these generate emissions to the environment. Other emission sources are from refridgeration and air conditioning as a result of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). For the Financial Year 2017, the company has been strengthening full capacities to account for emissions and more indicators will be reported in the 2018 sustainability report. However for the diesel consumption, the organisation utilised 52 417 litres which translated to 136.9 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalents (tCO2E). In terms of consumption of petrol for various operations and activities in the year under review 55 390 litres were used, which contributed to 121.65 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalents (tCO2E). Our organisation has started carbon footprinting in 2017 and we have

For the year 2017 the Specific Energy Consumption was 0.075 kwh/l. Our organisation has embarked on deliberate actions through engineering, management and technical solutions to facilitate reduction in energy intensity in order to ensure that the company makes maximum use of energy resources per unit product. This is also in line with the requirements of Coca Cola Group to improve efficiencies. Therefore, wasting energy resources is detrimental to our

opportunities for improving in the years to come. The petrol accounted for is limited to plant equipment only mainly folklift trucks, whilst the diesel reported is limited to plant equipment, folklift trucks generators. The vehicle fleet is excluded and will be reported in the 2018 report.

Our emissions are calculated factoring in the various Greenhouse Gas Emissions namely Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), HydroFluoro Carbons (HFCs), Perfluocarbons (PFCs) and Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6). Our emissions are calculated based on Carbon Dioxide Equivalents (CO2E) which is a measure that factors in all the Greenhouse gases specified by the Kyoto protocol. We also follow guidance based on the Department for Environmental and Rural Affairs of the United Kingdom. Further guidance in our carbon footprint was also from the World Resources Institute (WRI)/World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

Climate change and Energy - cont’d

Over 1 billion people in the world lack access to electricity. This means that the world is

experiencing energy poverty and many people will have to rely on biomass for their energy needs. This could come at a cost to the environment and also can generate significant emissions. Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited has identified renewable energy as a low hanging fruit and a sustainable pathway. In the years to come we shall be considering identifying parts of our operations where we can implement renewable energy technologies such as solar. An area that we need to improve is the uptake of renewable energy. Our Top Management and Engineering are currently assessing the feasibility of renewable energy.

Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited believes that dealing with climate change will require mitigation and adaptation. Our raw materials are sought from the agriculture value chain and as such we are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. It is in our interest to encourage our suppliers to also look at climate adaptation including enhanced capacities in irrigation. When we consider the savings that can be made from efficient irrigation such as drip irrigation and also savings from efficient utilisation of process water, we recognise that climate adaptation can have both environmental and business benefits.

Climate Adaptation and Mitigation – Two sides of the same coin?

Climate change is considered the biggest challenge facing humanity. There are

two broad approaches which stakeholders can implement. These include mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation is concerned with actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions such as energy efficiency

and renewable energy technologies such as solar. Adaptation considers how to cope with effects climate change including water efficiency, using drought resistant varieties as well as using efficient irrigation methods such as drip irrigation. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts a temperature

increase of 2 degrees celsius if we continue with Business as Usual (BAU). Our strategy as Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited is to pursue both mitigation and adaptation through constant monitoring and measuring of our emissions and having performance indicators focused on water saving.

Water

Water is an integral part of the operations and activities of Schweppes Zimbabwe limited.

We require water for various purposes ranging from products such as Bonaqua, process water, cooling and cleaning processes. Due to the highest standards and legal requirements for food hygiene in our processes we require water and hence consider the Sustainable Development Goal Number 6 on Access to Clean Water and Sanitation as key to our growth and survival. We abstract water from various sources including groundwater and municipal water. In all cases we have invested in world class water treatment technologies such as chlorination, flocculation, sand-filtration, carbon filtration, polishing filtration, reverse osmosis, UV treatment, and Ozone treatment. Our bottled water is the preferred product on the market and it has also won several awards including Product of the Year under the National Quality Awards and also the Southern Africa Quality Awards.

Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited believes that every drop of water counts and hence we have promoted a culture of water savings throughout all facets of the company including production, canteens, rest rooms, cleaning and

Our Total Annual Water Consumption for the year 2017 was 158,483,500 litres. Municipal water contributed to 115,860,500 litres whilst groundwater contributed to 42,623,000 litres. Schweppes believes that water resources must be used efficiently and hence we track our water utilisation with respect to our production. During the period under review we had a Total Production of 64,076,921 litres of product. In this regard our Specific Water Consumption was 2.47 l/l. We shall continue to track our water productivity in the upcoming years. Some of the measures that we implemented in 2017 include metering of water consumption, repairing water leaks, Cleaning in Place (CIP), backwash recovery, use of high pressure cleaning nozzles and awareness workshops.

KEY FACTS ABOUT THE GLOBAL WATER SITUATION

Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited hosted its inaugural “Water and Energy Forum” on 27 January 2017. This demonstrated private sector leadership in sustainability, self -regulation and voluntary initiatives of sustainability.

Our organisation clearly recognised that water and energy were key resources for supporting industrial

activity and that their unsustainable use is detrimental to society. Therefore, the forum drew various stakeholders including Environmental Management Agency (EMA), Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA), City of Harare and also selected industries such as CAFCA Limited. The forum addressed climate and water challenges, water saving strategies, pollution issues, water recycling, renewable energy, energy efficiency as well as mainstreaming water foot-printing into business processes.In addition to having representatives from Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited (SZL), the

• The global sustainable water supply is estimated to be 4200km³ per year• In 2000 global water use stood at 3950km³• In 2030 global water demand is projected to be 6900km³ exceeding global supply by 40%• The Global water demand for manufacturing industries will increase by 400% from 2000 to 2050

form also had representation from other subsidiaries of the Schweppes Holdings Africa Limited (SHAL) Group including Best Food Processors and Beitbridge Juicing Company. The Coca Cola group was well represented and also shared experiences from the Group’s perspective. Regulatory authorities also provided insights into the existing pollution problems in the country and recommended measures for the private sector and manufacturing to prevent water pollution and contribute to enhancing water quality. As a group we resolved to come up with a Strategy for Water and Energy in order to fast track efficiency improvements. From the deliberations of the Schweppes Water and Energy Forum,

it is clear that some of the measures needed to improve water and energy efficiency are low cost ‘low hanging fruits” hence need to be implemented without delay. High technology measures would also be considered by the organisation in phases taking into consideration resource availability. The organisation reiterated its commitment to continue supporting water and energy efficiency interventions

We pride ourselves in this compliance record and we will assure our stakeholders that we will continue to operate within the confines of our environmental laws in the years to come. In the year 2017 we had as at the end of the year 5 Licences in full compliance of the Environmental Management Agency (4) as well as the Radiation Protection Authority of Zimbabwe (1). In addition we also ensure that we periodically carry out legal compliance audits

Our organisation is a law abiding entity. Over the years we have gained experience and demonstrated compliance to environmental and sustainable development policy and legal frameworks. The mechanism employed in our operations is to identify relevant legal requirements impinging on operations and then implement actions that ensure compliance.

We attained 100% compliance to

environmental laws and we will continue to learn both existing and new legal requirements. In

our organisation, it is not only about complying to legal requirements

but also “other requirements” such as

those of our customers, industry sector as well as international standards such as those promoted

by the International Organisation for Standardisation.

Model for Corporate Environmental Excellence

and implementing the Precautionary Principle

Pursuing our corporate environmental goals has been strengthened by our adherence to the Precautionary

Principle. Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited realises that we must protect the environment at all costs even if there is no scientific evidence to prove selected environmental catstrophes. We do not believe in a “wait and see approach” but we take “proactive approach” action to address potential environmental sustainabiliy challenges that have a potential threat to the organisation.

In 2017 we therefore determined internal requirements, established a framework for measurement, reporting and verification. Our indicators have been determined with due consideration of the external requirements of stakeholders, GRI, international benchmarks and best practices. In order to upscale and compliment our sustainability action we have started work on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our CSR Initiatives and Community Development

In pursuant of that, Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited has initiatives on Corporate Social Responsibility. We

have partnered with Danhiko in assisting the disadvantaged and disabled members of our society through donations. The world has realised that disability is not inability and there are various opportunities we can facilitate in order to raise the standards of living of disadvantaged individuals. Our dream is to have a community that is inclusive and cooperates with all individuals.

In the period under review our organisation also provided support

to the project that involved children undergoing cleft-lip operations. Through providing communication, beverages and meals we believe that as a company we should play our part in making a difference. In 2017 our organisation was involved in the initiative for cleft lip surgeries in collaboration with other stakeholders such as the University of Zimbabwe College of Health Sciences and Rotary Club. A cleft lip is a physical split or separation of the two sides of the upper lip and appears as a narrow opening or gap in the skin of the upper lip.

Our operational activities are centred on integrating community relations and engagement of people. We believe that our business success is enhanced by having partnerships with communities that we live in.

“The main objective of our participation is to assist the under privileged in society,

with health and children having been identified as a key focus area for the

company’s corporate social responsibility initiatives,”

Demos Mbauya, Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited, General

Manager.

Our CSR Initiatives and Community Development

- cont’d

We acknowledge that our industrial processes interact with the environment and can have impacts on communities. This is why we have committed ourselves to stakeholder and community concerns whenever they arise.

In the period under review there were no major environmental concerns raised by communities. In order to ensure corporate social responsibility we have initiatives on waste management and waste recycling including the establishment of PETRECO. On every new project or extension of existing project scope we fully engage in the Environmental Impact Assessment

(EIA) process including Public Consultation processes. As a result we have seen community engagement as an effective tool for project improvement. Through the Safety Health and Environment Department we make regular follow-ups on the implementation of the Environmental Management Plan.

Pursuing our Corporate Social Responsibility actions has also seen our organisation including farmers in the value chain. Through application of the inclusive business model we have mainstreamed sustainability and social inclusion in the value chain.

Case Study: Health Initiative – Cooperating partner in Cleft Lip Operations Programs

The programme involves Health Support for Children with Cleft lip and palate. Schweppes Holdings Africa Limited has for the past seven years been partnering with Operation of Hope and Rotary Clubs to provide the gift of life-changing surgeries by ensuring there is sufficient water and juice to keep patients and their families, volunteers and all related health personnel hydrated during the mission.

In addition to that, the organization has been producing meals for at least 400 people on screening days with staff volunteers who not only assist to serve the meals but also assist in filing-out the patient forms by translating English into local languages. The main objective of the participation is to assist the under privileged in society, with Health and Children having been identified as a key focus area for the company and to encourage staff participation in corporate social responsibility initiatives

Through the “Operation of Hope” there were 2 Missions undertaken at Mpilo Hospital in Bulawayo and at Harare Children’s Hospital. Our staff have been volunteering on screening days and meal donations, plus beverage donations during the operations covering 400 people. During the “Love without Reason” (provided beverages during the operations) covering 200 people. The mission of “Alliance for Smiles” saw our organisation providing beverages for the screening day and partnered Servcor to provide free meals for 200 people

The main objective of our participation is to assist the under privileged in society, with Health and Children having been identified as a key focus area for the Company and to encourage staff participation in corporate Social responsibility initiatives. So far 800 people directly benefited from this initiative.Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited has been the official water provider in support of the

Operation of Hope with product donations to refresh the management team and patients. Operation of Hope is a surgical mission to Zimbabwe which runs from July to August of every year. A 21 member team from European countries visits Harare Central Hospital Paediatric Ward to facilitate operations on not less than 50 Zimbabweans with different cleft lip conditions. Operation of Hope is co-ordinated by the Rotary Club of Avondale.

This initiative has addressed SDG 3, which is core to the businesses CSR drive in trying to improve health and livelihoods in the community that surrounds us. Poor health has seen to have a direct relation to increased poverty.

Stakeholder Analysis and Engagement

Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited considers its stakeholders as key to its business strategy. We engage stakeholders through various platforms, seeking to get value adding inputs to our sustainable development initiatives.

As an entity we realise that stakeholders have got varying needs and hence these need

to be analysed and action taken to address them. We continued to receive feedback in the year 2017 from these stakeholders with respect to our sustainability ambitions. The issues material to our stakeholders are taken care of in the organisations planning and relevant responsibilities are effectively allocated. We formally engage some stakeholders whilst for some stakeholders the engagement is ongoing.

The major platforms for engaging stakeholders in the year 2017 included the Schweppes Water and Energy Forum where energy and water were recognised as material issues that SZL should focus on. This forum included interaction and engagement with the regulators such as Environmental Management Agency (EMA), City of Harare and Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority. Employees were also engaged on the materiality of water, energy and wastewater.Formal engagement of representatives of the employees was also undertaken by Schweppes Zimbabwe Limited through two

formal meetings of the Sustainability Report, the first focusing on determination of priority Sustainable Development Goals and the Second focusing on the determination of Materiality as well as the Ranking of the SDGs relevant to the organisation as a follow up of the first meetings.

Our shareholders are key to our business and they are engaged through regular reporting on the performance of the company including the sustainability performance of the company. The community and customers are engaged and involved in the sustainability report and any issues that they raised are also captured in our sustainability reporting data collection. We also have a system of recording any customer complaints from our key stakeholders.

During the year 2017, there were no major environmental grievances and complaints received by the company. However, we are constantly developing mechanisms of how we can address challenges in the communities such as waste management that we are addressing through promoting waste recycling.
