LOCAL COMMUNITIES
WEC considers Corporate Social Investment (CSI) and Social Economic Development (SED) to be a moral responsibility rather than a contractual obligation. Our CSI & SED programmes are focused on providing assistance and upliftment to communities in the areas in which we operate, especially in remote rural locations. We seek to support infrastructural projects, such as the building or repair of schools, crèches and clinics, as these play to our strengths and expertise as a construction company, as well as providing tangible and measurable benefits to the community directly. Training, development and skills development programmes are also top of our agenda to ensure that we implement empowerment and job creation for local communities during the project as well as the long term operation of the Plant.
We also favour sustainable projects that will provide ongoing benefits to the community, such as long-term employment.
Our activities in meeting national needs are very much connected with respecting the communities we serve and generating local social value.
We are committed to:
- Respecting the communities that we serve.
- Investing in the communities we operate.
- Empowering local communities.
- Inspiring the next generation.
- Generating local social value.
- Providing better solutions for the market place.
