Overview

We firmly believe that we can use mobility for good to drive positive socio-economic initiatives with impact, strengthen our relationships with our stakeholders, create employment, grow the automotive industry, and make a positive difference in the lives of our people and communities.

  • Measuring the impact and sustainability of our community projects.
  • Prioritising the increasing need for immediate assistance to social issues against investing to establish longer-term social projects that in time can sustain themselves, reaching larger numbers of beneficiaries.
  • Balancing our need for scarce skills with the need to provide employment opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled workers.
  • Library burglaries and theft of equipment.

What we are doing

Our corporate social investment strategy

Our CSI supports initiatives that make a long-lasting positive difference to the economies and communities in which we operate. Our chosen pillars are education and skills development, road safety and primary healthcare – areas we believe will assist to alleviate the needs of these communities. Each year, we aim to allocate 70% of our CSI spend to Group projects within these pillars to ensure we achieve a meaningful impact. Individual businesses within the Group support additional projects that meet the specific needs of the local communities in which they operate.

How we measure our performance

The long-term nature of our flagship CSI projects enables us to build strong stakeholder relationships, working together to achieve predetermined objectives, deliverables, and expectations. Some projects are monitored against service level agreements. The Group's CSI spend is independently assured annually.

Assessment tests developed by the University of Pretoria are used to measure literacy levels to ascertain the impact of the Imperial and Motus Community Trust's libraries and resource centres.
