THE FUTURE IS BEAUTIFUL Corporate Social Investments for 2015 1

“

Futuregrowth’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI) policy is aligned with our core business philosophy of empowerment, development and social upliftment of previously disadvantaged individuals and communities in South Africa.

”

Our purpose

Our key focus areas

Our process

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT –– Elderly people –– Poverty alleviation –– Women and children at risk –– Community development –– Capacity building

Our purpose is to make a meaningful, tangible difference to communities and in so doing fulfil our purpose of effecting positive change in South Africa. A secondary purpose is to provide Futuregrowth employees with a platform to live the brand and further enrich their own lives by doing good for others.

Futuregrowth allocates 1% of its after tax profits to Corporate Social Investment (CSI). An internal Corporate Social Investment Committee vets the projects under review. Committee members are invited to serve on the committee based on their passion for, and interest in, social development work in and among socio-economically deprived communities, and all staff are encouraged to participate in the various projects that we engage in.

Our key focus areas of support fall within the three broad CSI categories of social development, health and education.

EDUCATION –– Adult Basic Education Training (ABET) –– Early childhood development –– Specific interventions at primary and senior school level HEALTH –– Disabled people –– HIV/AIDS –– Hospital e.g. infrastructure, equipment –– Palliative care

Our geographical areas of focus are those where the committee is able to implement a thorough due diligence process, with committee members personally visiting the projects to assess and monitor them on an ongoing basis. The proximity of a project to our offices also makes it more feasible for our broader staff complement to be actively involved. We will, however, consider projects across the country in collaboration with partner organisations who are able to do the due diligence on our behalf.
