Having inculcated a philosophy of“ Better Together” around transformation, the company has set the industry benchmark through its Socio-Economic Sustainability and Innovation Programme. This is a partnership with the government and surrounding communities that aims to empower people living in and around Tongaat Hulett’ s developments by means of economic participation.
Dedicated to the mutual success of both the development at large and individual developers, the company acts as an anchor to its property developers. Flexibility is crucial, and the company is able to craft and design its spaces according to the requirements of each developer, while remaining true to its vision for the built environment.
“ By planning with our developers, providing market intelligence and data, and facilitating investment partners where required, we are able to offer a solution-driven platform and a strong support network,” says Rory.
Tongaat Hulett has planted approximately 28 000 hectares of sugar cane in KwaZulu- Natal over the past four years, creating over 7 000 jobs. The company’ s contribution to the local economy and its close collaboration with the government in agriculture has helped establish sound working relationships and paved the way for future projects, such the multi-billion rand integrated Cornubia settlement just west of uMhlanga.
LOOKING AHEAD
Through agricultural land conversion, Tongaat Hulett is creating value not only for business and investors but also its community stakeholders, whom it serves through sustainable employment opportunities and local economic development.
“ We are committed to uplifting KZN socio-economically by facilitating growth and investment, providing housing and employment opportunities, contributing to the betterment of society and protecting and preserving our natural heritage,” says Rory.
