By aligning with business strategy, we aim to create positive impact on society through delivering sustainable projects and relationships. We aim to reach our goal through the following investment in the following areas:

  • Economic development: contribute to the livelihood development of the local communities with a value chain approach and supporting small and medium enterprises
  • Community health: strengthen the access and quality of health services and increase community health awareness 
  • Education: strengthen the access and quality of primary and secondary education
  • Environment: Increasing awareness, access to water, sustainable use of resources, marine biodiversity research and conservation.

 

"Our vision is progressing from sustainable communities to sustainable societies"

 

Improvement of the socio-economic situation and adaptation to the effects of climate change require mitigation measures that necessitate combined efforts of governments, non-governmental institutions and international entities. As the driving force of economic growth, private sector actors bear a responsibility to tackle these challenges.

 

“Our mission is to develop sustainable relationships and cooperation frameworks to achieve positive change in the communities and societies affected by our operations”
