CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILTY

BCS Group places high importance on its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, focusing on philanthropy, environmental conservation, diversity, labor practices, volunteerism, and women empowerment. These initiatives play a significant role in establishing public trust, engaging our employees, and, most importantly, creating positive impacts on the communities we serve. By prioritising these areas, we strive to be a responsible and socially conscious organisation, contributing to the betterment of society as a whole.

Philanthropic Efforts

As part of our philanthropic efforts, we actively engage in making donations to NGOs throughout the year to support their causes. We firmly believe in the power of collective action and understand the immense impact that NGOs have on addressing various social, environmental, and humanitarian challenges. By providing financial support to these organisations, we contribute to their ongoing efforts in creating positive change and making a difference in the communities they serve. We carefully select NGOs that align with our values and focus areas, ensuring that our donations are utilised effectively and efficiently to maximise their impact. Through our continuous support, we strive to be a catalyst for positive social change and contribute to building a better future for all.

For example, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), we have joined forces with the government to allocate 25% of our dark fiber on the metro and backbone networks. This digital highway serves as crucial infrastructure for the nation, facilitating essential e-health, e-education, and e-government services. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in enhancing national security and enabling efficient inter-government communications and systems. Through this collaboration, our aim is to connect over 1,000 schools and hospitals located along our fiber routes, making a substantial impact on the accessibility of education and healthcare services.

We acknowledge our responsibility to handle, transport, use, and dispose of raw materials, products, and waste in a manner that ensures environmental safety and minimises risks. We are committed to adhering to global environmental protection requirements, striking a delicate balance between improving lifestyles and preserving the earth's resources and ecosystems.

⦿  Terrestrial habitat preservation
⦿  Aquatic habitat preservation
⦿  Minimisation of visual impacts

Diversity and Labor Practices

We are dedicated to upholding principles of diversity and equality by providing equal employment opportunities in a professional and high-quality work setting.

It is our steadfast policy, as well as that of all our subsidiaries, to recruit, train, promote, transfer, compensate, and make employment decisions without discrimination based on an employee's race, colour, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, religion, age, disability, protected veteran status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law.

We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workforce, where individuals from different backgrounds and perspectives can collaborate and thrive. By embracing this policy, we aim to create an environment that values and respects the contributions of every employee, promoting fairness, and fostering a culture of equal opportunity.

Volunteerism

At BCS Group, we highly value the spirit of volunteerism and actively engage our employees in volunteer efforts. We firmly believe that volunteering not only benefits the community but also fosters employee engagement and strengthens our brand. We actively participate in volunteer activities within the settlements or towns where we undertake our fiber projects. By aligning our CSR values with our commitment to community service, we strive to make a positive impact on society and create a better future together.

Through these volunteer initiatives, we aim to deliver meaningful outcomes that benefit all stakeholders. By actively involving our employees in giving back to the community, we not only build stronger relationships but also contribute to the well-being and development of the areas we operate in.

Women Empowerment

BCS is firmly committed to driving positive change and empowering girls and women through targeted initiatives. We actively collaborate with educators and policymakers to enhance educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Through motivational speeches, mentorship programs, and internship opportunities, we strive to foster a broader understanding of these disciplines as powerful tools for shaping a better-engineered world. Our ultimate goal is to instill confidence in girls and women, encouraging them to dream big and believe in their potential to turn those dreams into reality. By providing educational support and exposure to STEM fields, we empower girls and women to unlock their full potential and contribute to societal progress.

Today, at BCS, we are proud to have achieved a significant milestone with over 40% of our staff being women, and both senior and middle management positions comprising 45% women. This achievement reflects our unwavering dedication to promoting equal opportunities and creating an inclusive environment where girls and women can thrive, excel, and leave a lasting impact in their chosen fields. Together, we are shaping a future where girls and women are empowered to drive innovation and make a positive difference through their knowledge, skills, and accomplishments.
