entrepreneurialism and administration.
In support of contributing responsibly to broader
societal issues, the communities in which the TPC
Community Channel operates are concerned about
the upliftment of their community, the enhancement
of skills and the delivery of services in their areas,
which are mostly rural. This concern is directly
addressed by the Community Channel, as it focuses
on providing services to these communities, as well as
creating job opportunities and economic upliftment.
This provides extra-mural stimulus for staff and
enables them to extend their networks.
This enables the Group quick access to talented
individuals, while gaining direct line of sight into
academia, where it may be able to offer and
receive learnings.
Formal personal meetings, written communications
and tender processes.
The Group takes cognisance of the implications of the
B-BBEE Codes of Best Practice.
Meetings are held covering matters such as health and
safety and the Codes of Best Practice.
Our good reputation is our licence to operate and we
therefore have to uphold our stature with all
stakeholders.
During the year under review no prosecutions were
brought against the Group for the contravention or
non-compliance of any laws or regulations.
Advice is considered by management and, where
appropriate, recommendations made to the Social
Ethics and Transformation Committee.
