Pepkor Holdings Limited

𝐏𝐄𝐏𝐊𝐎𝐑 𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝟒𝟎 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 Pepkor Holdings Limited has been included in the JSE Top 40 Index since the end of September 2024, ranking as the 34th largest company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange by market capitalisation. A gradual increase in investable free float over recent years, combined with the appreciation in the Pepkor share price, resulted in the group qualifying as a constituent of the JSE Top 40 Index for the first time since its listing in 2017. This underscores the shared value created by Pepkor’s purpose-driven growth - rooted in solving customer needs in discount and value segments of the market. #PepkorHoldingsLimited #PepkorPurposeDrivenGrowth #PepkorInclusiveGrowth #PepkorValueDrivenRetail #PepkorShares

We’re excited to officially open our brand-new state-of-the-art Hagley Distribution Centre, a testament to our commitment to better serve our customers and partners. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of every Phadima and partner involved. A special moment was the ribbon-cutting by our longest-serving Phadimas, Ivan and Glen, who have been part of the DC300 family for an incredible 40 years! 👏 This facility represents not only growth but also our drive to continuously improve, and we are so proud of what we’ve achieved together and what is to come in the future!

In retail, stagnation is not only a slow death sentence to the lazy, but also to the arrogant. Innovation is not only a tool to try and revive a struggling brand, but also possibly the best tool to make sure you stay ahead of the curve. Combine innovation with diversification and you will always find a way to avoid stagnation and even increase the gap between you and competitors by increasing your market share. So proud to be part of the team to bring this new disruptor to the public. New brand loading…………… #pepkorspeciality #refineryjnr #pepkor

𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐀 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇 Meet Musawenkosi Lungile Skosana our 23-year-old data whiz making waves at Flash! On August 31 2024, she celebrated three months in her first-ever full-time role as a Junior Data Analyst.

After six months of impressive work, she landed a permanent position. In her role, Musawenkosi dives into a sea of numbers, forecasting trends three months ahead using historical data. “There’s so much you can do with maths,” she shares. “Being part of Pepkor’s FinTech journey is amazing - I’m learning how the cellular industry shapes our world.” But what truly lights her up? The chance to collaborate with her team. “Engaging with people is the most valuable part of my job,” she says. Here’s to Musawenkosi’s continued success and data-driven adventures! #PepkorFinTech #PepkorIncubatorProgramme #FlashGroup #PepkorDataAnalyst #PepkorCellular

𝐏𝐄𝐏𝐊𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅 Celebrating Arbour Week this month, Pepkor is proud to emphasise the group’s commitment to a greener future. Pepkor has always focused on delivering more for less, with retail brands like PEP making the unaffordable affordable. With a distribution network spanning 5 900 stores, from urban hubs to remote rural areas, we’re driving efficiency at every turn. With our Switch Off Something campaign (held in June 2024 around World Environment Day), the measured impact in Ackermans stores saved the group 140.79 tonnes in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) which is the equivalent of planting 5 420 trees. What’s even more, through innovative technology and optimisation projects within Pepkor Logistics, the group has reduced the litres of fuel used to deliver a single cubic metre of stock annually by 2% on average over the past 5 years since 2017. Our fuel savings from FY18 to FY23 saved the group 10 396 tonnes in CO2e, which is the equivalent of planting 400 246 trees. #PepkorBuildingBetterBusiness #PepkorRoadToGreen #PepkorInclusiveGrowth #SwitchOffSomething #ArbourWeek #PepkorInnovation

𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐙𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐏𝐓 𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐈𝐄 Thandazile Mkhize landed fresh in Bloemfontein seven months ago, stepping into the role of Pepkor Logistics Hub Manager, a mere 35 years old and in charge of her own KPI’s, productively managing her own budget and with an expanded team of leaders under her leadership. After studying supply chain management, Thandazile's career advanced in fifth gear: in 2016, straight from university, she started as a Team Leader at Pepkor Logistics, a year later she was promoted to a Supervisor position, then an Operations Shift Controller position, and in 2022 to Hub Manager. Pondering about all the progress - moving from Durban to Joburg to Harrismith to Bloem - she admits her growth in confidence scares her. “Two things stand out for me - the ability to adapt and self-awareness. If you hone these two skills, the ever-changing world will be your oyster. I also often experience that discomfort pushes you to grow even more!” In April, Thandazile graduated from LEAD, Pepkor’s senior leadership program, which was instrumental in helping her to really implement adaptability and self-awareness on a daily basis. “It’s sometimes as easy as to allow yourself to be learning agility through reading! I’m currently reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and it’s opening up a new perspective to me which resonates with the importance of living in the present moment to achieve a more fulfilling life.” #PepkorGroupStrategicServices #PepkorLogistics #PepkorSupplyChainManagement #PepkorLEADprogram #PepkorLeadershipDevelopment
