Environmental
stewardship
Our national water systems are under
extreme pressure due to high levels of
plastic pollution. As a responsible corporate
citizen we endeavour to support initiatives
targeted at coastlines and inland water
systems such as rivers and streams.
Environmental education and
awareness focusing on oceans,
rivers and streams:
Through an interactive presentation
hosted by Aqua Amazing, sponsored by
Plastics SA, Sasol, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife
and Umgeni Water, more than 25 000
pupils from 30 primary and
high schools in rural KwaZulu-Natal
and Mpumalanga were educated about
the devastating effects of pollution in
the oceans.
More than 3 000 pupils in
Amanzimtoti community and surrounding
schools participated in the Clean-up and
Recycle SA initiative in support of the
National Clean Rivers Weekend World
Ocean Day in KwaZulu-Natal.
