Our Message
We would like to share three principles that we believe will be springboards to realising the goals of our project, which is to reach out and bring the message of Corporate Social Responsibility to the many, many SME’s (Small and Medium Enterprises) in Nigeria. These values, when infused into our corporate culture, shall nurture us as responsible corporate citizens, each doing our part, in however small a way, to make Nigeria a caring corporate community.
Our Motivation
The corporate culture of detachment from society is like a common cold in Nigeria. It is only too easy for SME’s to keep our focus on the bottom line, and other success-related issues. I believe that as it grows, this event can be the bridge that shall facilitate mutuality between your organisation and our community. Do participate to make and leave this society a better place than when you found it. Our participants can leave a mark of positive change and affirmative difference everywhere we go.
Our Involvement
We advocate that we get involved in EVEN THE SMALLEST programmes to be part of our community. To be the best should be our corporate ambition, but above all, we ought to cultivate the virtues of sacrifice and integrity, the application of our creativity and knowledge to better the lives and well-being of those around us. That ultimate goal helps instill a lifelong service ethic among our corporate community.
Our Inspiration
Inspiration is the spark that ignites big dreams and ideas. Let's have fire in our bones and passion in our eyes when we go beyond the confines of our business, into the society around it.
We thank all our Partners and well-wishers for their support and participation in the
5th CSR Nigeria Awards 2015.
