Barloworld’s alignment with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The group considers its alignment with the SDGs and the opportunities and responsibilities they represent for the business. While this process is evolving and the group continues to refine its approach, the matrix below reflects the alignment between the SDGs and; the group's Purpose: Inspiring a world of difference, enabling growth and progress in society, its strategic framework including indicators and aspirational goals; as well as its responsible citizenship programme. In many instances, although there may not be an explicit or direct alignment, the consequences or indirect impact of Barloworld’s approach may positively impact an SDG. The matrix also indicates where these issues are covered in Barloworld’s GRI responses and their links to its other publicly available 2024 integrated reporting.
