Giving back
Corporate social responsibility
We are duly registered by NEMA and actively committed to supporting the conservation and protection of the environment. We donate funds to Rhino Ark, a charity based in Kenya and the UK with a mission to raise funds and material support to build an electrified fence encircling the Aberdares National Park and surrounding forestry areas — preventing illegal exploitation of forest habitat and promoting sustainable use of environmental products for current and future generations.
