Note from the CEOThe test of a great company is whether it has the ability to constantly manage for both the level of returns, and the dura-tion over which those returns will be realized. It's a challenge that we at Hitech embrace, because we recognize thatthere's always a bigger picture, a longer time horizon and a broader world in which we operate.This is an exciting time for the Hitech Group of Companies as we evolve into a truly global organization, that strives tounderstand our consumer‟s aspirations, no matter who they are and where they live.Our heritage as a family business runs deep. What began with Hitech Chemicals more than a quarter century ago, hasnow become The Hitech Group of Companies. We are the largest chemical business in KwaZulu-Natal, and one of thebiggest in South Africa.If our history and trajectory have taught us one thing, it's that we have to think in terms of both quarters and genera-tions and keeping our vision fixed on the horizon of possibilities.Business does not operate in a vacuum; it operates under a license from society. We recognized early that when wetransformed our business to deliver for our consumers, protect and invest in our environment and community, and inour employees; we achieved sustained value and growth. In fact, these actions fuel our financial returns.Over time Hitech has realised its goal to expand and has subsequently evolved into a growing concern which has con-sistently sustained top-tier financial results through:- transforming our portfolio to provide a wide range of products,-finding innovative ways to reduce our impact on the environment, which enables us to lower our costs at the sametime;-providing a safe and inclusive workplace for our employees around the globe to attract and retain the best talent, andinvesting in the communities in which we do business.We're proud to be a leader our industry and we are continuously working to minimize our environmental impact. Weremain committed to environmental stewardship at every level of our company.Hitech‟s talented people are vital to our continued success, and we continuously invest in our associates, giving themthe tools and training to succeed.In all of these areas, Exceeding Expectations fuels our growth and allows us to stay ahead of trends, shaping our indus-try and the world in which we operate. It galvanizes our global associates, positions our business to deliver today andwell into the future, and protects resources for the next generation.We're proud of what we have achieved so far but recognize that there is much work to do to meet the aggressive goalsand aspirations that we've set for ourselves. Hitech has the capacity, and the will, to lead, and to continue to lead andset industry standards.We will continue to work with governments, NGOs, local community partners and other industry leaders toward com-mon goals, and fight for those things that make the world a better place.At the heart of Hitech and our Exceeding Expectations vision is the powerful idea that every footstep matters, but so toodoes the horizon to which we are headed.
