These material matters are discussed in more detail below of this report.

Pick n Pay was proud to be recognised by The Institute for Risk Management South Africa (IRMSA) for its outstanding contribution to risk management.
Our group risk and assurance services team – which reports directly to the audit, risk and compliance committee – scooped the award in the wholesale and retail category for its role in developing, implementing and driving an integrated combined assurance programme across the Group. The programme has improved the visibility, transparency and reporting of all material risks, developed appropriate action plans for effective risk mitigation and risk monitoring, and improved operational efficiency through the management of interdependencies and the realignment of resources.
