Corporate Social Investment

In working with communities and regions, we endorse innovative and responsible initiatives aimed at social upliftment. These initiatives may contribute to existing community programmes or may be newly established.

Our overall philosophy is to capitalise on our core construction capability and the availability of our resources at construction sites when identifying initiatives with community leadership. Many of these initiatives result in the handover of new structures and/or improved community infrastructure while we complete construction projects in the region.

We aim to ensure the sustainability of these initiatives by seeking the assistance and involvement of regional development partners, which include NGOs, government departments, community forums, welfare organisations, education trusts, school governing bodies, sporting bodies, higher education institutions and communities in general.

Sanyati is committed to making a sustainable impact on the communities in which we operate and our corporate social investment strategy is key to this commitment.

Sanyati identifies (in conjuctin with community leadership) appropriate CSI needs at our various construction sites, including a time frame for the implementation of these initiatives and the aim of ensurng the sustainability of the underlying investment.

The group’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI) committee, comprising representatives from each division and chaired by the CEO, has defined a framework for the identification and execution of CSI spend with the emphasis on sustainability and leveraging opportunities in our core competence of civil construction.

Examples of CSI projects that were undertaken recently include:

  • Our site office that was handed over to the Greenville community has been converted for use as a local clinic.
  • The construction of a netball/basketball court for the Waterloo community
  • The levelling of a parking area and construction of a soccer field for the Verulam community
  • A revamped parking area for the Empangeni Hospice
  • Donations in support of HIV/ Aids initiatives
