ECO COMMITMENT

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” ~ Dr. Jane Goodall

Spur Corporation’s vision is built around the concept of a sustainable business, and we are committed to sustainable environmental practices as a core aspect of our role as a responsible corporate citizen. Although our direct environmental impact as a franchisor is relatively small, the Group monitors its energy and water use, as well as waste produced, to reduce these responsibly.

Our respective brands are committed to environmental sustainability and are continually striving to improve operations to limit any negative environmental impact and operate well within the natural boundary.

ECO PROJECTS

Slide 1

SIOUX SPUR –WATER WARRIORS

Sioux Spur in Cape Town is leading the way forward in terms of environmental sustainability while also inspiring other businesses that are looking to save water and money.

“It is a long-term financial investment and a constant saving, even if we do get rain and Day Zero doesn’t come. I hope a lot of stores will benefit through this initiative,” says Gerhard Kitching.

Slide 2

#NoToPlastic

John Dory’s is on a mission of change to ensure a better future for generations to come, with their central policy message being 'People, Planet and Profit'. They are involved in initiatives throughout South Africa and assisting with river and beach clean-ups, encouraging recycling habits, educating the public on reusable products and eliminating single-use plastic items.

ECO TEAM

The Eco Team functions as an operational support to ensure engagement, training and ongoing tracking and measurement of risks and targets. Environmental sustainability is overseen by the environmental sustainability committee (‘ESC’), who amongst other things, works closely with our franchisees to enable a sustainability mindset and guide implementation of sustainability policies and tracking, measurement and verification of environmental data streams.

Initiatives include reducing water wastage, ensuring energy-saving initiatives are applied, formal waste reduction and recycling programmes are in place, cooking oil usage and disposal are correctly implemented, and sustainable packaging is used throughout our franchises. Key performance indicators are set every year to encourage constant improvement.

The Eco Team builds close relationships with various stakeholders to ensure all environmental commitments and objectives are met.
