Broad-based black economic empowerment
We make use of a broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) policy and have aligned ourselves with the DTI Codes of Good Practice (guidelines on employment equity).

We care about our communities and environment
We invest in our communities and constantly evaluate our activities to ensure that we remain socially responsible and environmentally conscious.
Glacier’s community support is broadened annually with a range of initiatives supporting various organisations.
The organisations we support include those that care for and protect children in need, assist in poverty alleviation, and relieve the suffering of animals.
Our head office in Tyger Valley is an energy- and resource-efficient building incorporating design, construction and operational practices that reduce and eliminate negative impacts on the environment.
The progressive building has been awarded four stars by the Green Building Council of South Africa.
