Thankful Thursday
Thankful Thursday started as a way to internally showcase the amazing work of our company through its CSI function and employees across the group in contributing in some way to redress the needs of our imbalanced society.
Why Thankful? For us, positively impacting lives is an action, not a slogan, and we are grateful to be in a position to help communities in whichever way we can. This commitment to making a real difference has been our driving force. This soon became a tradition, with our employees looking out for updates and sharing with their networks. Fostering a sense of pride and driving engagement, Thankful Thursday is a testament to the collective dedication that fuels our mission of positive change.
We've handpicked these stories to share, and we're thankful to be able to continue acting on our values with our stakeholders, partners, community members, and everyone on this journey with us.
