Dangote sustainability initiative uplifts host communities – Dangote Cement Plc (DCP) officials from Obajana, Ibese and Gboko cement plants embarked on social investment programmes directed towards health care, education, and environmental sanitation in their host communities during the company’s Sustainability week 2018 held recently.
The Sustainability Week, which lasted for five days, was simultaneously held across Africa.
In Lagos, where the Dangote Group is headquartered, over 500 Sustainability Champions across the business, embarked on the cleanup of Oniru block-makers village in Victoria Island; environmental sanitation of Anjorin Market, Apapa by Apapa Greenville; and the Isolo community clean-up by the Isolo Depot Team of Dangote Cement.
Offshore business units of the company initiated various activities including a beach clean-up and tree planting in Tema by DCP Ghana; hospital sanitation and clean-up in Bounsa by DCP Congo; educational outreach programmes in Douala by DCP Cameroon; and Dangote Cement Ethiopia Plc constructed additional block for Ula Gora School, Ethiopia.
The Dangote Sustainability Vision is built on seven pillars known as “The Dangote Way.”.
According to the DCP Group Managing Director, Engr. Joe Makoju; “The vision is built on the premise that sustainability must be owned and practiced by employees at every level of the organisation, and powered by the highest levels of institutional governance.”
For the Chief Sustainability and Governance Officer of Dangote Group, Dr. Ndidi Nnoli, Sustainability means living in harmony with host communities and natural environment, adding that, ‘We believe our people and our businesses have a lot to give as much as to learn from the rich heritage of cultures in Africa. We are committed to building sustainable local economies in the communities and markets where we operate.”
