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 and sustainable development frameworks including indicators and aspirational goals; as well as its commitment to being a responsible corporate. 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 publically available 2021 integrated reporting.

New targets therefore need to be established for the next five year period. These will address material environmental aspects, including efficiency targets for non-renewable energy, fuel efficiency, electricity consumption, greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2), water efficiency and responsible waste management. During the year, we established divisional- level intensity metrics to allow for enhanced operational management and efficiencies.
