Corporate Social Responsibility

Amidst an alarming rise in new coronavirus cases, we have suddenly been forced to adapt to a ‘new normal’, encouraging us to seek out new preventative measures to shield ourselves from the pandemic. Given the uncertainties over the duration and severity of the pandemic, the Government has been stressing the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine for a return to normalcy. As a socially responsible institution, we have joined the fight against the pandemic by contributing Rs 2.2 million to the National COVID-19 Vaccination Programme Fund, which aims to ensure access to free vaccines for every Mauritian.

The shipwreck of the Japanese cargo ship, MV Wakashio, back in August 2020, led to one of the worst ecological disasters ever to hit our island. The oil spill affected the livelihoods of local fishermen and the local community, who had already been struggling to stay afloat due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. To join in the national effort to help minimise the socio-economic and environmental impact of the spill, 150 food packs with basic necessities were distributed to the local community who was affected by this ecological and economic disaster.
