At YLG GROUP LTD, we wholeheartedly embrace the principles of sustainability as a cornerstone of our long-term success. Sustainability is not merely a response to external pressures or a matter of complying with regulations and ethical standards, although these factors are undoubtedly significant motivations.

It's about harnessing the collective strength of our conglomerate to effect meaningful change in the communities we serve. It involves aligning sustainability with our business strategy and integrating it into our planning. Our pursuit of a sustainability strategy presents an exceptional opportunity to enhance our business value and have a positive impact on the communities we engage with.

Sustainability is not just a priority; it's a fundamental commitment for our group. The challenges posed by the ever-evolving global landscape, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, have underscored the urgency of maximizing our immediate positive impact while concurrently crafting a sustainable, value-driven approach for the years ahead.

Our ambition is to drive a robust sustainability agenda across all our businesses, both individually and collectively as a group. This involves engaging our people, customers, and communities while remaining responsive to their unique needs and the broader environmental, social, and economic challenges that confront the world.

Given YLG GROUP's vast scale, with our diverse businesses employing over 400,000 individuals across various sectors in Africa, we recognize a distinct opportunity. We believe our businesses can play a pivotal role in positively influencing consumer behaviors and making a substantial, beneficial impact on society.

In essence, we are diligently working to embed sustainability into the very DNA of our conglomerate and all its subsidiary businesses, transforming not just what we do but how we do it.
