Overview of PPCFor well over a century, PPC has tracked the growth and development of South Africa and Zimbabwe, producing cement for many iconic landmarks, including the Union Buildings, Gariep Dam and Van Staden s River Bridge, Kariba Dam, the Gautrain, new Cape Town Stadium, Medupi power station and much of southern Africa s the acquisition of Safika Cement and Pronto Readymix (including Ulula Ash), PPC now supplies from nine cement manufacturing factories, four milling plants, five blending facilities and nine readymix batching plants. These are in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda, producing around eight million tonnes of cement products each year and half a million tonnes of fly ash. PPC also produces aggregates, metallurgical-grade lime, burnt dolomite and limestone. Our Mooiplaas aggregates quarry in Gauteng has the largest aggregate production capacity in South focus extends beyond our group to the broader industry.

1 Overview of PPCFor well over a century, PPC has tracked the growth and development of South Africa and Zimbabwe, producing cement for many iconic landmarks, including the Union Buildings, Gariep Dam and Van Staden s River Bridge, Kariba Dam, the Gautrain, new Cape Town Stadium, Medupi power station and much of southern Africa s the acquisition of Safika Cement and Pronto Readymix (including Ulula Ash), PPC now supplies from nine cement manufacturing factories, four milling plants, five blending facilities and nine readymix batching plants. These are in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda, producing around eight million tonnes of cement products each year and half a million tonnes of fly ash. PPC also produces aggregates, metallurgical-grade lime, burnt dolomite and limestone. Our Mooiplaas aggregates quarry in Gauteng has the largest aggregate production capacity in South focus extends beyond our group to the broader industry.

2 As a leader in this industry, PPC has actively invested in technology to reduce air emissions, minimise waste production, recycle and recover raw materials, enhance energy efficiency and conserve natural resources, while producing a reliable and affordable supply of building materials to support the economies of countries where we is a truly African success story a focused business that reflects the strengths of its people, products and services. As we expand into the rest of Africa, we will deploy our sustainable business model one built to last for all following frameworks have been applied in preparing this report:FrameworkSouth African Code of Corporate Practice and Conduct as set out in the King III reportCompanies Act 71 of 2008 JSE Limited (JSE) listings requirementsFramework issued by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC)Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)PPC IR 2014 FOR WEB ONLY_PROOF 4 9 DECEMBER 2014 PPC IR 2014 FOR WEB ONLY_PROOF 4 9 DECEMBER 20142 PPC Sustainability 2014 2014 AT A GLANCEPERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTSFINANCIALR evenue R9 billion(2013: R8 billion)4projects under way in restof Africa expansion 40% of revenue by 2017 Headline earnings per share 179 cents(2013.)

4 Creating a sustainable culture of safety and health in PPCS afety and healthcare are core values in PPC and we continuously strive for excellent performance in all areas of our operations. Our abiding aim is to have everyone leave work at the end of the day in the same state as they arrived in the years ago, after reviewing our safety performance and researching extensively, we rolled out an initiative to focus on a zero-harm culture in the group, known as PPC Alive! The name embodies growth, empowerment, vitality, sustainability, wellness and many other concepts that support our beyond-zero culture means safety is always foremost in the minds of our team members. Safety is not a number we count to reach a target, it is a way of life. At PPC we use the term Nomakanjani which literally translates to come what may and used in context being safe is the way we do things around here or Nomakanjani!

5 Safety is about the tasks we do every day, in an ever-changing work environment. Our process focuses on our people becoming collectively mindful, and our mindset is that the workplace and equipment are unsafe only the actions of people can make them PPC Alive! journey is about entrenching a safety culture, and is based on our safety values: care, respect, positive intent, reliability and empathy. PPC Alive! focuses mainly on the people aspects of safety, which for many years have been largely misunderstood or will maintain our safety systems and processes but we recognise that achieving excellence in safety and health performance means doing things a little differently. PPC Alive! now focuses on integrating the concept of engagement, empowerment and enactment into our safety strategy as a major focus to improve our safety culture and, therefore, will also focus on new projects in areas where PPC has not traditionally operated.

6 Issues such as availability of competent health and safety resources, language, lack of infrastructure, cultural differences, in-country legislation and fit-for-purpose health and safety standards will need to be carefully evaluated, and project-specific health and safety plans developed to accommodate these and safety HighlightsThe approach to safety is evolving into becoming a learning organisation at the heart of this, PPC is developing a zero-harm culture as opposed to focusing only on safety statisticsPPC Alive! has been rolled out at five sites, with ongoing site-specific initiativesTraining interventions, including accident investigation, mindfulness and lessons learned are underway at all PPC sites13 PPC operations have not had a lost-time injury this yearLowlights19 lost-time injuries in 2014 Occupational healthAll factories continue to run their HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) programmes, and noise-alleviation programmes.

7 Reporting on these items forms part of the mining charter is not common at PPC sites but treated as runs HIV/AIDS management programmes aligned to the national guideline at each site. HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment programmes are well established and prevalence levels are low at our operations in South Africa but high in Botswana (where government provides treatment) and Zimbabwe (PPC provides counselling and antiretroviral drugs).Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an issue in the mining and manufacturing industries, but not a significant risk in PPC. We have programmes in place to reduce noise levels with engineering controls where possible, and ensure all team members have quality hearing protection. Hearing tests are part of the annual medical examinations at all did not have any new occupational diseases during the 2014 year, therefore no compensation cases were safetyThe PPC group lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) decreased from 0,28 in 2013 to 0,25 at 30 September 2014: 5% of the decrease is attributable to CIMERWA factory and project.

8 PPC reported 19 lost-time injuries (LTIs) in 2014, compared to 18 in 2013. Our operations in the CIMERWA factory, CIMERWA project (Rwanda) and DRC project are now included in our safety reporting remains active within the structures of the Chamber of Mines to obtain information and add value towards compliance with various elements of the mining charter and the DMR 2014 milestones. The key objective is that every mine worker returns home unharmed every PPC Sustainability 2014 SUSTAINABILITYPPC IR 2014 FOR WEB ONLY_PROOF 4 9 DECEMBER 2014 PPC IR 2014 FOR WEB ONLY_PROOF 4 9 DECEMBER 2014 PPC Sustainability 20144 PPC group key safety indicatorsTarget2015 Target2014 Actual2014 Actual2013 Target2013 Number of fatalities00010 Fatality frequency rate per 200 000 hours worked0000,020 Number of LTIs<9<101918<11 LTIFR per 200 000 hours worked (12-month window)<0,121<0,150,250,28<0,18 Days lost to LTIsN/AN/A95631 0602N/A1 Target derived from individual site targets based on hours worked and specific performance High number of days lost due to severity of CIMERWA factory and project contribute 5% and 7% to group LTIFR and lost days sites had no LTIs in the review period.
