Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is our commitment to real social change. This outlook is wired into our company DNA, and based around three key concepts: people, profit, and planet. Our culture of giving back allows you the opportunity to share your talents with non-profits and communities that need them the most. Every year, in a variety of ways, Manzoma people contribute to the community around them.
So what are we doing?
It’s still early days but we’re making progress. Here’s a taste of what we’re doing to support our people, our community, and our planet.
- Strong, sustainable growth is what allows us to give back. We donate part of our time, money, and resources to the community.
- We support continuing education by co-funding our employees’ quest for higher education and we provide post-secondary scholarships for disadvantaged youth in the community
- We provide our professional CMMS to help create a tech-savvy generation working for a more efficient and environmentally friendly future. Using a EAM-CMMS can have a massive impact on sustainability, health and safety, and job security.
- We have partnered with NGO’s to help preserve and restore vulnerable ecosystems and educate youth on sustainability. We’re committed to support programs, research, and education.
Our CSR Strategy
At Manzoma, we believe that we can achieve our CSR goals through different approaches:
a) Sustainable Development
We provide support to innovative programs that have potential for national replication, address identified community needs and are closely aligned with our corporate goals. Hence, we participate in the following:
- Utilize our professional employees’ skills and capabilities to improve students and fresh graduates’ skills by conducting lectures and trainings in collaboration with development NGOs. These trainings are given by employees on volunteer basis.
- Increase student access to technology, and improving the IT structure of different educational and medical institutes through different donations of IT equipment according to needs and availabilities.
b) Ongoing Charity Activities
We decided to keep the activities the employees started as “Manzoma Charity Arm” with concentration on our two main focus areas. Thus we have been working on the following ongoing programs:
- Orphanage sponsorship.
- Donations campaign for the National Cancer Institute (AFNCI).
- Time bound events: Ramadan Tamween Packages during the holy month of Ramadan.
c) Crisis Support
Manzoma is quick to hand in support in emergencies and crisis situations such as the Dweqa crisis.
