ABOUT THIS REPORT

We are pleased to present Sun International Limited's (Sun International) 2021 environmental, social and governance report (ESG report)

to our stakeholders, which focuses primarily on the group's sustainability and governance information.

Sun International reports in a holistic, transparent and integrated manner to assist our stakeholders in making informed decisions about our business. We aim to provide our stakeholders with a focused and balanced report that demonstrates our integrated thinking and our ability to create and preserve value for the year under review. This report covers the financial period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 and incorporates all Sun International's subsidiaries and operating units in the geographic locations where we operate - South Africa and Nigeria. For reporting scope purposes, we have only detailed our South African operations' information in this report and not our Nigerian operations, as they are not material to the scope.

Our operating environment in the tourism and entertainment industry continues to be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with lockdowns at various alert levels and several Covid-19 waves experienced during 2021. These Covid-19 impacts are discussed in various sections throughout this report. Our integrated thinking, regular stakeholder engagement, risk and opportunity identification, capital resource prioritisation and the ability to take decisive action proved to be imperative during these challenging times. Our strategic progress, driven through our business model, continues to position the group for growth opportunities and value creation over the short, medium and long term.

This report is structured around our leadership message, value creation, our sustainability performance and outlook and our governance transparency and accountability. The other suite of reports include the integrated annual report (IAR), the group's annual financial statements (AFS) and statutory information.

Our ESG content covers the reporting period's most material matters and where applicable content includes the period up to the report's finalisation on 31 March 2022. Sun International's material matters are topics that could substantively influence the assessment of providers of capital and other stakeholders, regarding the group's ability to create sustainable value for its stakeholders over the short, medium and long term. The process of determining materiality, outlined in the materiality section of the IAR, involves reviewing and assessing our risks, opportunities, the external environment and stakeholder concerns. This process is dynamic and evolves annually to ensure our material matters remain relevant and enable the group to achieve its strategic objectives, vision and purpose.

Our South African gaming operations are the group's single biggest revenue contributor and primary revenue generator.

STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK

We welcome stakeholders' feedback on our reporting, particularly regarding our suite of reports. Feedback can be sent [e-mail]

At Sun International we are committed to being a good, proactive corporate citizen, as is demonstrated by our environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities.

We are focused on reducing our group-wide environmental footprint and investing in green solutions to become a more efficient and sustainable organisation. We are creating shared value for the communities we operate in, through preferential local procurement, socio-economic development (SED) and corporate social investment (CSI) programmes, recognising that these communities give us our social licence to operate and are integral to our sustainability. We invested R14 million and R13.1 million in SED and CSI respectively in various programmes and initiatives. Included in our CSI was R2 million that was allocated to education funding for employees and their families. Three billion rand was also invested in preferential procurement as part of the group's commitment to creating opportunities for all suppliers, particularly B-BBEE compliant small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) as well as in supporting economic upliftment in our supply chain.

Our sustainability journey continues to mature as we remain abreast of global sustainability developments. During 2021, we reassessed our sustainability approach to ensure a more integrated group-wide sustainable business strategy. This includes a holistic ESG focus, allowing us to measure, monitor and evaluate our contribution towards minimising our impact on the natural and social environments we operate in, while ensuring sustainable value creation for all our stakeholders.

Our group strategy stood us in good stead over the past two years. This strategy included our five objectives: improve our existing operations and our guest experience; protect and leverage our existing asset portfolio; grow our business into new areas and products, governance and sustainability and our people. During 2021, our strategic objectives were refreshed to align with our current operating environment and strategic outlook.

These strategic objectives are:

CUSTOMER CENTRICITY

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND EFFICIENCIES

PEOPLE AND CULTURE

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG)

MAXIMISE SHAREHOLDER VALUE

While ESG is a standalone objective, these ESG elements are encompassed within all our other strategic objectives.

Our ESG strategic progress is detailed in this report on pages 19 to 49.

We have set out an ENVIRO-AMBITION 2025 strategy to help us lead sustainable environmental management in the hospitality sector. It is an approach with clear key performance indicators (KPIs), mechanisms and measurements for realising new environmental initiatives that mitigate the natural resource challenges that the group and South Africa faces. This includes concerns like a sustainable energy supply and rising energy costs, water quality and availability, and increasing concerns around the shortage of certified waste facilities. Our ambition inherently considers the group's larger sustainability strategy, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, and global best practices like the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.

Our people are the heart of our business and continue to go above and beyond the call of duty during this challenging Covid-19 period. They are the primary interface with our guests and customers and are the custodians of memorable guest experiences. To find and retain the right talent, we implement programmes designed to enhance diversity,inclusion and professional development.

Sun International's SunWay culture and employee alue proposition (EVP) continues to embed the group's culture as well as attract and retain top-performing employees.

The health, safety and wellbeing of our employees and guests continues to be a key focus area for the group and encouragingly there were no fatalities for the year under review. We continued to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic through industry-leading interventions aligned with global best practice and local legislation. Our vaccination strategy includes a vaccination policy that focuses on a voluntary vaccination approach, with the vaccination rollout plan encouraging employees to have the Covid-19 vaccination and booster. Sadly, ten employees lost their lives to Covid-19 in 2021. We extend condolences to all their family and friends during this difficult time.

The board remains committed to promoting an ethical culture from the top as well as to actively engaging stakeholders. We embrace the governance pillars of integrity, responsibility, fairness, transparency, honesty and accountability for all stakeholders, which assist in preserving our long-term sustainability so we can create stakeholder value.

We are proud of how Sun International has made it through the last two years. Our focus is now on the future and the prospects of renewed growth. We thank our people for their role in overcoming the immense challenges we faced in helping us regain our momentum.
