Since our creation over 34 years ago, we have been deeply committed to being a force for good by fulfilling our duty as responsible and caring citizens of Mauritius. Given the increasing threat of climate change and the challenges presented by the pandemic, there is an urgent need for collective action to protect both the planet and its people. Beyond deploying financial resources to NGOs, our commitment is centred on engaging with causes that are aligned with our purpose and values and that we believe will have a positive, enduring impact. To us, it is an ongoing journey that requires a long-term vision, continuous dedication and dialogue with our stakeholders. With this in mind,we identified three Es as the main pillars—Education, Environment and Engagement—that guide our CSR work. We carry out our activities through the Cim CSR Fund Ltd, an entity dedicated to our social enterprises. After remitting 75% of our funds to the MRA, as mandated by the law, we managed to recoup 25% of our CSR contributions through our ongoing community projects.
