our csr anchors
Based on our high ethical standards we aspire to deliver excellently on our CSR pillars
Environmental
Impact
Tangerine Africa is dedicated to protecting the planet we all share by reducing waste, saving energy, and conserving water resources. Through strategic partnerships and initiatives, we engage in periodic activities that focus on creating a more sustainable environment.
It is our long-term vision to achieve healthier waste management in our operations, workspaces, and community. We run a waste management programme to reduce, reuse, recycle, donate, and encourage behaviour change beginning with employees and extended to the public.
Education &
Advocacy
Using the strength of our social capital, we engage stakeholders to educate staff and ensure adherence to best practices.
We also provide educational opportunities to the coming generation through our scholarship programs, as we believe that quality education increases opportunities to access a better life.
Community
Involvement
Encouraging employee participation, we engage in community-related activities that directly affect the environment where we live and work. Tangerine Africa recognises the importance of community involvement as the interdependence between our business and the community is undeniable.
We embrace giving back; through financial contributions, collaborating with organisations and events, in-kind gifts, and employee volunteerism, we foster positive change in communities.
initiatives
Recycling for Scholarships
Recycling for scholarship is an initiative aimed at decreasing illiteracy using a method that simultaneously preserves the environment. Our goal is to provide children with resources to get a quality education, as an inability to pay fees is a leading reason for a high number of children out of school.
We organized the first edition in July 2020 through a recyclable collection drive tagged #TangerinePlasticChallenge. Following the 3-day collection exercise, about 642kg of recyclables was presented to ISRINA School, Ajegunle Lagos. ISRINA School receives recyclables as a form of school fee payment. Miss Yetunde Saheed was the scholarship recipient for the 2020/2021 academic year.
For the second edition, we are in partnership with the Lagos State Waste Management (LAWMA). Mesh bins have been set in strategic locations in Lagos state to collect recyclable plastic items. After the collection period, accredited recyclers will weigh the items, and exchange them for money or present them as an acceptable mode of school fee payment. Our target is to sponsor 10 kids by the beginning of the next academic year September
CSR Reporting
We are committed to providing an account of our performance on issues of interest to our stakeholders. Our reports by our CSR Framework compliance with ISO 26000 standard urges that, at appropriate intervals, users should report on their performance on social responsibility to the stakeholders. Our report will include a complete picture of performance.
