MOTUS

Health, safety and wellbeing report.

1.4 By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership, and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance.

1.5 By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters.

Our business activities deliver value for our shareholders, and provide salaries, career advancement and skills development for our employees as well as create jobs for wider society. Our transformation strategy and corporate social investment (CSI) programmes aim to leave a long-lasting positive difference to the communities in which we operate. Our learnerships and apprenticeships enhance the employability of local people, particularly the youth, providing them with work experience and skills development while earning. Programmes are in place to find opportunities to procure from local suppliers, assist black-owned and managed businesses to grow and become sustainable, improve literacy at under-resourced public schools, provide affordable and quality healthcare to lower income communities and promote road safety awareness.

Good health and well-being

Targets: 3.4, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8

3.4 By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being.

3.6 By 2020, halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents.

3.7 By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes.

3.8 Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential healthcare services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all.

Our Employee Assistance Programme helps employees to manage their mental health and wellbeing. Other support mechanisms such as wellness days, blood drives and mental health first aiders are in place across our various businesses.

A key enterprise development and CSI beneficiary for the Group is the Unjani Clinics network that provides affordable, quality primary healthcare and medicines to those who are uninsured and under-served but employed and able to pay a small fee towards their healthcare needs. This includes pregnancy care.

In South Africa, we have been involved in programmes to enhance road safety awareness for over 10 years. The programme has many facets, delivering road safety awareness to school children, parents and holidaymakers.

Quality education

Targets: 4.1, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.7

4.1 By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.

4.3 By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university.

4.4 By 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship.

4.5 By 2030, eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and children in vulnerable situations.

In South Africa, we participate in the YES4Youth Programme to provide young people with quality work experience to prepare them for future employment. In the UK and South Africa, our learnerships and apprenticeships target women, black people and people of colour. In the past two years, Mobility Solutions has had good success with a learnership for people living with disabilities. We prioritise the development of black people in line with our Employment Equity Plan, and we have a designated programme to develop our female talent pipeline for future roles. We also operate the largest automotive training academy in South Africa, training artisans and technical workers for both Motus and the broader automotive industry.

The Group has worked with the Imperial and Motus Community Trust since 2003, building libraries and resource centres for under-resourced schools in Gauteng. Impact assessments show that the project has a positive impact on literacy levels. While the majority of the schools supported are primary schools, there are also a few secondary school beneficiaries as well as a school for children with autism. A bursary programme is in place to help qualifying employees with the costs of sending their children to university.

Internal programmes are in place to educate our employees on sustainable development issues such as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), ethical business conduct, compliance, health and safety, and environmental impact.

Gender equality

Targets: 5.1 and 5.5

5.1 End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere.

5.5 Ensure women's full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life.

Improvement is needed in terms of the participation of women in the automotive industry, particularly in leadership roles. Our Women in Leadership Programme and the EmpowerHer Affinity Group aim to support women within Motus to advance their careers. We also have learnerships that target young women, providing them with work experience. We ensure that our employment policies and practices do not unintentionally create potential for discrimination or unconscious bias behaviour. This behaviour is not tolerated and mechanisms are in place for employees to confidentially report unethical conduct of this nature. The Unjani Clinics network is a successful initiative to empower professional nurses to ultimately own a container clinic in their communities. We support this project both as an enterprise development and CSI beneficiary.

Clean water and sanitation

Targets: 6.3 and 6.4

6.3 By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally.

6.4 By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity.

The operations with the Group with the highest water consumption are our wash bays both in the retail and rental of vehicles. To reduce the amount of water we source from municipal sources, which helps to free up water supply for surrounding communities, we are investing in rainwater harvesting systems and water recycling plants. The installation of these systems is linked to executive remuneration.

Affordable and clean energy

Targets: 7.2 and 7.3

7.2 By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.

7.3 By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.

Over the past two years some of our businesses have installed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems; however, the installation of these types of systems is expected to increase fairly significantly in the next two years, with a number of feasibility studies already underway. Our measuring and monitoring of our consumption of renewable energy is a focus area and is currently being refined to support disclosure in our ESG report. The installation of these systems is linked to executive remuneration.

The Group's vision is to improve people's lives by envisioning, innovating and creating new avenues of access to leading-edge mobility solutions. Our innovation strategy is designed to sustain our competitiveness in a dynamic digital economy. A number of development and training programmes are in place to drive innovation and build the digital dexterity of our employees.

Productive activities are achieved through our leadership and skills development programmes, which also support individual career growth, and our enterprise and supplier development (ESD) programmes for local businesses, including small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which support their growth, sustainability and ability to create jobs.

Much focus has been placed on DEI during the year with a roadmap developed to achieve our desired state of DEI within the Group. Our DEI interventions extend beyond the workplace to our supply chain and communities in line with our aim to make a lasting positive impact. Our learnerships and apprenticeships provide local people, women, the youth and people living with disabilities with workplace experience and skills development opportunities.

We protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all our employees. In the UK and Australia, our human resources policies incorporate the necessary regulatory requirements as they relate to modern day slavery and human trafficking.

Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Targets: 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4

9.4 By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities.

The automotive industry facilitates local and export trade, providing sustainable jobs to many people. Across the Group we employ 17 283 people, 76% of them based in South Africa. Our ESD programmes support local businesses and SMEs, assisting their integration into value chains and markets. In certain cases we assist these businesses with interest-free loans.

Between 10% and 15% of our investment in new build and property upgrade projects in South Africa is directed towards addressing aging and inefficient infrastructure, and green-linked installations that reduce our reliance on the electricity grid and municipal water.

Reduced inequalities

Targets: 10.2 and 10.3

10.2 By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status.

10.3 Ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of outcome, including by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action in this regard.

Our focus on DEI, our transformation strategy and community upliftment initiatives aim to reduce inequalities and empower and promote the social and economic inclusion of the people associated with or impacted by our businesses irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status. Discrimination in any form is not tolerated.

Sustainable cities and communities

Targets: 11.2, 11.5 and 11.6

High-quality products and services report.

11.6 By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management.

We apply stringent quality controls at every touchpoint of a vehicle's lifecycle - when it is serviced and maintained, sold as a pre-owned vehicle, supplied as a rental and when it requires parts and accessories.

A key part of our road safety awareness initiative is the Safe Scholars Programme, which educates school children and their teachers on road safety in a fun and interactive way. We also provide patrol vehicles to police the N1/N4 toll routes, assisting the local authorities with faster response times to incidents during the Easter and December holiday seasons.

Over the past two years, we have worked with reputable non-governmental organisations to assist people in South Africa in vulnerable situations, whether this was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, riots or floods.

Over the past year, we started working on expanding our environmental strategy to include a more consistent and managed approach to recycling and waste.

Responsible consumption and production

Targets: 12.4, 12.5 and 12.6

Governance of sustainability matters.

12.4 By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their lifecycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment.

12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.

12.6 Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle.
