ABOUT THIS FULL ONLINE REPORTING

We are pleased to present Sun International Limited’s (Sun International) 2019 full online integrated annual reporting to our stakeholders.

Sun International reports in a holistic, transparent and integrated manner to help our stakeholders make informed decisions about our business. This full online report provides our stakeholders with relevant information that demonstrates our integrated thinking and value creation for the year under review.

Our 2019 online reporting covers the financial period 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 and incorporates all Sun International’s subsidiaries and operating units, locally and internationally. Our online reporting is structured to provide a comprehensive set of information related to the year under review. The online reporting includes our leadership reviews (front of house), business overview (deck of cards), our strategic performance and outlook (game plan), our financial performance (payouts), our governance transparency and accountability (rules of the game) and other relevant and/or referenced information (downloads). The full suite of reports, namely the group’s integrated annual report, annual financial statements, statutory information and our environment, social and governance information is available in the downloads.

The online reporting content covers the reporting period’s most material matters. In some cases, content includes the period up to the report’s finalisation on 31 March 2020. Sun International’s material matters are issues that could substantively influence the assessment of providers of capital and other stakeholders, regarding the group’s ability to create value over the short, medium and long term. The process of determining materiality, outlined in the materiality section of this report, involves reviewing and assessing our risks, opportunities, the external environment and stakeholder concerns. This process is dynamic and evolves yearly to ensure our material matters remain relevant and enable the group to achieve its strategic objectives, vision and purpose. Our materiality determination process and methodology are reviewed, updated and approved annually by the relevant governing bodies and where applicable, aligned to best practice.

South Africa continues to contribute the majority of group revenue, followed by Latam and the rest of Africa. Gaming remains the group’s primary revenue contributor.

REPORTING SUITES, REPORTING FRAMEWORKS AND ASSURANCE

The group’s suite of reports is guided by various frameworks.

Our integrated annual report is primarily guided by the International Integrated Reporting Council’s (IIRC) recommendations for integrated reporting (the <IR> framework). This report is also prepared in accordance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements (JSE LR) and the South African Companies Act, 71 of 2008, as amended (Companies Act). Our annual financial statements (AFS) follow the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are externally assured by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. Our statutory report is guided by the Companies Act, JSE LR and the King Code on Corporate Governance^TM for South Africa 2016 (King IV^TM). A detailed register of our King IV application governance principles is available online. Our sustainability information is guided by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, with certain information externally assured by IBIS ESG Assurance. The group also embraces the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which encourage companies and individuals to take the necessary action to achieve the SDGs by 2030.

Combined assurance model

Sun International’s combined assurance model provides comfort to stakeholders that our financial and non-financial information are verified. This model also enables an effective internal control environment and supports the integrity of information that management and the board use in decision-making.

REPORTING FOOTPRINT AND NAVIGATION

Having received positive feedback on our first online integrated report in 2018, Sun International continues to minimise its environmental footprint by only reporting online in 2019. As part of our ongoing improvement process, we have provided four suite of reports that combine related information for ease of reference.

Our reporting design and report generator function improves the overall user experience and enables the reader to select sections of interest in a PDF format, which can be saved or printed if required. Our interactive icons, footnotes and links further add to the user-experience.
