ESG at KAEFER South Africa

Our approach connects environmental responsibility, social progress and strong governance with the way we deliver our services and work with our stakeholders.

Environment

Our ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system helps us identify risks, set objectives and drive continual improvement. We focus on waste reduction, responsible disposal, spill prevention, pollution control, energy efficiency and environmental training.

Social

Governance

Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system supports consistent delivery, documented processes, accountability and continual improvement. Together with the KAEFER Code of Business Conduct, Group policies and responsible sourcing practices, it helps us manage risk and build trusted relationships.

Aligned with the KAEFER Group ESG strategy, we focus on practical local actions that supports our clients, people, communities and the environment.
