DUE DATE:8 SEPTEMBER 2025
QUESTION ONE
(PART : 14 Marks)
A1. SWOT Analysis of SG’s Non-Financial Performance (8 marks)
Strengths
• Strong governance framework with a Social and Ethics Committee that aligns with
King IV principles and B-BBEE standards, enhancing accountability and
compliance.
• Significant investment in employee development, with nearly 50% of the workforce
receiving annual training, including learnerships for people living with disabilities,
demonstrating social responsibility and inclusivity.
Weaknesses
• Uneven ESG implementation across different regions, resulting in inconsistent
sustainability standards and reputational risks.
• Lack of transparency in Corporate Social Investment (CSI) reporting, which
undermines stakeholder trust and reduces credibility.
Opportunities
• Potential to expand carbon-neutral practices beyond Australia to other regions,
thereby reducing environmental footprint and enhancing reputation.
• Opportunity to leverage innovative technologies (solar-powered trailers, blockchain-
enabled supply chain tracking) to strengthen ESG analytics, operational efficiency, and
competitive advantage.
Threats
• Safety concerns, with one fatality and more than 500 workplace accidents, posing
legal, ethical, and reputational risks.
