We define corporate social investment (CSI) as ‘a contribution or investment of cash, knowledge, employee time and equipment to people or communities to help them to flourish and help sustain an environment in which we can be a successful business’.
During the year our operations invested US$30 million cash in CSI programmes, 0.9% of pre-tax profits. We estimate our total contribution including time, gifts in kind and charitable donations totalled US$44.8 million or 1.4% of total pre-tax profits. These figures are based on the London Benchmarking Group methodology and exclude investment in responsible alcohol consumption initiatives and HIV/Aids programmes for employees and their dependants.
