Our focus on sustainability
We focus on the sustainability areas where we can make the most significant positive contributions: responsibility, climate, and resilience. All these areas relate to our core business and expertise and are interconnected.
Ultimately, our goal is to grow from being an industry leader to an authority within sustainability as a whole.
We see a world where sustainability is simply built into living. By coming together to think differently and solve problems today, we have the power to shape sustainable spaces to support healthy living beyond our lifetime.

Goals
Our approach to sustainability is built into the blueprint of the way we operate to deliver profit and create shareholder value.
Corporate Governance & Ethics
Corporate governance is a fundamental aspect of Screem Trader’s strategic and operational profile. It covers the roles and responsibilities of our Board of Directors, Senior Management and all employees.
A commitment to good governance ensures that the correct checks and balances are in place to promote a culture of honesty, integrity, accountability and continuity. Being ethical is the guiding principle for all governance. Our business practices are in line with relevant legislation and agreements. We believe that ethical behaviour will give us an inner peace, better quality of life and will contribute towards our long-term sustainability and growth.
Through our Ethics Committee and Performance Management System, regular and annual reviews are done to identify and address ethics issues. Our Performance Management System includes dimensions such as leadership assessments, internal customer evaluations, external evaluations and culture and climate surveys. Our Ethics Committee consists of employees from different disciplines and levels.
Information sessions take place regularly, and information posters are displayed in all areas of the workplace. Screem Traders Ltd is committed to creating and maintaining an ethical working environment.
Corporate Social Respnsibility
Caring for people is one of the values formulated in Screem’s Purpose and Vision statement. It is through caring that we have succeeded in building a passionate, loyal and proud workforce with a great team spirit. But caring goes beyond the workplace, and has found worthy beneficiaries in Screem’s Corporate Social Investment programme.
Employee Wellness
In line with its culture of caring, the company is concerned about the welfare of its employees and their families and have implemented an Employee Wellness Programme. Through this programme we provide employees and their family members with assistance when they require help with the prevention, identification and treatment of psychological or social problems, which all levels of employees may encounter from time to time.
HIV/AIDS
Part of Screem’s way of caring for its people is an established and results-oriented HIV/Aids programme. To date, 98% of the staff members have been tested voluntarily. Those whose results will come back positive will be put on the programme and receive the required treatment and hospice care.
Training and Development
Our passion towards the training and development of our people has been instrumental in creating an organization that is uncompromising in standards and will always strive to deliver what it promises.
Screem is known in the industry for training and skills development of employees and the communities where we operate. In this regard we focus on various areas of development initiatives to ensure that people get equipped with the necessary skills:
SHEQ
Screem takes safety, health, environment and quality very seriously. Compliance to legislation, global standards and our value of “caring for people” means that we do not compromise on SHEQ.
SAFETY
We strive to ensure that our people are always safe by applying sound safety management principles and operating procedures. This combined with knowledge and accountability of safety issues ensures that our people know what to do to prevent accidents, or in the event of an unforeseeable incident, know how to react.
HEALTH
By minimising hazards or potential hazards in our business, we are able to ensure the health of our people. This is achieved through training and stringent operating practices, which adhere to environmental and legislative requirements.
ENVIRONMENT
Screem Traders maintains a sound balance between resources, environmental care, social responsibility and profitability. Our corporate environmental policy formalises the value we place on caring for the environment. Key priorities include environmental management and educating our people.
QUALITY
At Screem Traders Limited we are proud to produce work of high quality, within the programmed time, to standards expected by our clients, consultants and communities. We embrace the principle of “first time right” and we produce products that are free of latent defects.
