Company Announcement - BASF South Africa today contributed a further R50 000 to the Missionvale Care Centre in Port Elizabeth. The Centre is an inter-denominational, non-profit organization committed to providing quality care and support to improve the lives of the people of Missionvale, an impoverished area of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropole. The Centre houses, amongst other facilities, a child support programme, feeding programme, HIV/AIDS support programme, community centre and school.
This donation to the Missionvale Care Centre supplements the donations made by BASF for the past two years when the company contributed towards the establishment of a Grade 4 classroom at the Centre’s Academy as well as the purchase of educational equipment.
According to BASF’s Port Elizabeth Site Director, Paul Allday, developing an ongoing relationship with Missionvale is a focus area for the site. “One of BASF’s three strategic pillars is focused on Corporate Social Responsibility. We believe in developing relationships and partnerships with projects in our communities in order to ensure sustainable Corporate Citizenship,” he said.
Over and above the financial donations to the Centre, BASF staff at Port Elizabeth’s Mobile Emissions Catalysts site choose to donate their time by volunteering during the annual Mandela Day activities hosted by the Missionvale team. According to Allday: “Giving back to the community around us is one of the fundamental responsibilities of all corporate citizens. Contributions do not only have to be of a monetary nature, but can include social awareness and upliftment programmes that all staff can get involved in at any level,” he said.
