Donations Policy
Our Donations Policy is set out below.
We are determined to create value for all stakeholders by supporting the socio-economic development of the societies in which the business operates. As a subset of our community engagement strategy, donations are an integral part of that value creation. Over the years, our donations and other community investments have evolved from standalone philanthropic initiatives to long-term, group-wide programmes closely linked to the business priorities and material issues. We have prioritised the following programme areas that are of critical importance across our markets, i.e.
- Community resilience, including disaster relief and recovery
- Sustainable access to safe water for our communities
- Economic empowerment for young people and women
- Circular economy projects and initiatives
- Locally relevant charity initiatives
This policy has been established to reflect scope, processes and controls that are to be employed to ensure charitable actions are carried out with fairness and due diligence and are reflective of our core values and community approach.
