Social Responsibility beyond BEE

The Servest Group believes in corporate social responsibility and the promotion of environmentally conscious business practices. Wherever possible, Servest trains and promotes previously disadvantaged individuals to management roles, facilitating skills transfer, capacity building, and the development of emerging entrepreneurs and black managers in the support services sector.

Servest is committed to the upliftment and development of communities by annually contributing to various corporate social responsibility initiatives promoting the diverse needs of people in different communities.

These include:

• Joint Action Management - Crèche Feeding Schemes Project
   
• Dreamfields - Soccer Development
   
• South African Police Widows and Orphans Fund
   
• Servest Empowering The Homeless (SETH) Skills Training Scheme

SETH is more than a social investment programme

SETH is about employing previously disadvantaged homeless people and affording them the opportunity to turn their lives around. The project is aimed at uplifting the residents of Cornelius House in Hillbrow, Johannesburg by offering comprehensive theoretical and practical training in cleaning skills to homeless individuals and their families. These persons can look forward to a better hope of a sustainable future with the contractual employment they are offered once their training is complete.
