Who We Are
Foskor - Investing in benefits for all stakeholders.
Foskor has committed R68 million to the upgrade of process and storm water drainage and road rehabilitation.
Foskor's Acid Division in Richards Bay undertook a comprehensive survey regarding the condition and suitability of systems serving current and future needs.
A project to upgrade the infrastructure and the design of new sub-soil drains and improved storm water systems is ongoing. Furthermore, the Acid Division's road remediation project is improving the quality of the roads in the area, whilst the new raised barriers prevent seepages or polluted water reaching the sea.
The project includes a truck-stop facility where up to 18 road trucks waiting to be loaded with fertilizer and acid can park.
This investment benefits all stakeholders by virtue of:
• reduced impact of groundwater pollution;
• improved maintenance of storm water systems;
• increased lifespan of roads carrying heavy traffic; and
• improved road safety for the general public.
Foskor recognises that sustainable development links opportunity with responsibility. Sustainable development raises competitiveness and allows for more informed production, taking damage to the environment into consideration. Socially responsible behaviour spreads
economic wealth equitably and brings a better quality of life to those affected by the operation's daily activities.
Foskor acknowledges that there is always room for improvement and will continue doing so to protect the interests of all stakeholders.
