Environmental, Social & Governance

We are committed to serving our clients’ best interests, but also to fulfilling our responsibilities to the communities with which we interact and engage.

We have identified a lack of educational opportunities as a key limiting factor in the lives of many young South Africans, and we have therefore focused our Corporate Social Responsibility investment on addressing this issue.

Ubuhle Christian School

Ubuhle is a school in Bronkhorstspruit (Gauteng) that caters for the vulnerable leaners in the area. The government withdrew its support which presented an opportunity to get involved with financial support, building, craft and community projects to ensure the effective and safe operation of the school. Our annual fundraiser mountain bike ride namely “JackalBerry Challenge” has been a great success and added significant fiscal to ensure the management is able to develop the school for the needs of the learners (www.jackalberrychallenge.co.za). We have played a part in giving these underprivileged learners a brighter future.

Aitsa!

We support the Aitsa! Aftercare Centre situated in Dwarshoek Valley, (Cape Town) creating a safe, loving and stimulating environment where children’s full potential can be developed from age 5 to 18 years old.

THE ANNUAL JACKALBERRY CHALLENGE FUNDRAISING

The annual JackalBerry Challenge fundraising cycle ride has made a significant impact both on the riders and on the lives of learners at the Ubuhle Christian School through increasing the school’s capacity to teach academic, social and communication skills. We call it Ubuhle Care & Development.
 
Through classroom construction, craft and catering projects and direct support of individual learners, we have been able to help these Bronkhorstspruit youngsters create a brighter future for themselves. As a company and as individuals, the 4PL Group contributes money and time each month to further our social development goals and make a real difference.
