Community
Local community activities can make a big difference. That’s why a group of our employees decided to create the Community Involvement Programme – a structured programme based on three of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Developed in partnership with The Collaboration Vector Inc., the Community Involvement Programme allows our employees to get directly involved in projects that benefit the local community. All projects within the programme are run in collaboration with non-profit organisations, and are chosen based on their ability to generate long-term sustainable change.
