CSI INNICIATIVES:
At Lesedi we consider corporate social investment (CSI) an integral part of our business and are eager to embrace its role as a good corporate citizen through various initiatives and have a positive impact on the youth, as well as the communities in which we operate.
We recognize that CSI has the potential to improve organizational reputation, improve labour conditions, reduce socio-economic risks in the external environment, build trust and relations with stakeholders.
Our business value of CSI and the impact it has on communities are not mutually exclusive concepts.
Accordingly- Lesedi has committed R300k towards the upgrade and refurbishment of Atlantis high school science lab. This, to provide the school with a fully functioning and equipped science lab/center which will assist the teachers with providing meaningful quality education to the learners. This will assist the learners with exploring the science field and equip themselves with new knowledge and skill, and also offer an opportunity for them to pursue science and engineering related studies at higher institutions of learning, with the hope to have a life-long sustainable impact on their overall lives
