About Us
OUR STRATEGY
With the launch of the "Awaken the Giant" strategy, PPC is positioning itself to become the leading cement leader in Southern Africa. Central to this ambition is the execution of our "5 Focus Areas," which extend beyond financial performance to encompass a holistic approach for sustainable success.
These focus areas will drive improvements in safety practices, industrial operations, commercial excellence, and people development – critical pillars that enable PPC to achieve consistent, profitable growth across all business functions.
By integrating innovation and sustainability into every facet of our business, we are laying the groundwork for a resilient, future-focused organisation that not only leads the market but sets new standards for the industry.
The following elements capture what is encapsulated by our “5 focus areas”:
- Minimising non-core expenses
- Reducing manpower and overtime costs
- Improving procurement processes and cost
- Lowering working capital levels
- Portfolio optimisation
- Better production planning
- Effective marketing spending
- Contribution margin guiding decision making (product, sourcing, model)
- Flexible distribution channels
- Expanding customer base
- Leveraging our competitive advantages
- Production increase
- Fuel mix optimisation and co-processing increase
- Clinker factor reduction
- Stock control discipline
- Regaining control of logistics management
- Enhancing productivity and rigorous control of capital expenditure
In addition to our financial performance, we are committed to supporting environmental sustainability and societal progress.
Our approach is primarily shaped by the needs and expectations of those we interact with closely, including:
- Customers
- Shareholders
- Employees
- Suppliers and business partners
- The broader community
