Our Busniess Values- 2 May 2013


Hello, 

We are currently working on our shareholders agreement for our business. The section I have been responsible for are our core values. We have decided to choose three core values that we will use as a base in driving our business. As we aim to be transparent in our business practice, it’s of great importance that our customers know what we value.

Sustainability
By committing to sustainable practice the team strives to ensure sustainable environmental, social and financial practice. With regard to environmental sustainability we aim to achieve this by using locally produced materials that are not harmful to the environment to produce our product, following a sustainable packaging policy and by ensuring our suppliers and manufacturers adhere to strict environmental policies. We aim to achieve this by empowering South Africans, specifically within our communities, in our business practice, supporting proudly South African businesses as suppliers and manufacturers to the best of our ability without it hindering on our ability to be profitable and by forming a strong relationship and adding value to the South African consumer. Finally with regard to financial sustainability we  to achieve profitability and be able to show its relation to the success with our other sustainability practices. We acknowledge that this is a process and although we may not achieve sustainability in every aspect, we aim to set high standards for future entrepreneurs.

The pursuit of excellence
The pursuit of excellence is a philosophy that the team would like to follow as we acknowledge that we are learning and that mistakes are part of the learning process. We strive to pursue excellence by being self-aware, having an open democracy, supporting each other through peer leadership, never being satisfied and as a result continually developing and improving as individuals and as a business to offer superior value to our customers and to learn as much as possible.

Respect
In order to achieve our mission statement and be successful it is important for the members to respect each other and the differences in each individual that make up a very versatile business. We support open communication and understand the importance of listening and discussing, with an open mind, the opinions and ideas of each member. All interactions between members or with any other business associate, be it supplier or board member, should be done with respect.

Until next time,
B
