104 Fostering Sustainable Ecosystems Message from CEO Corporate Overview Corporate Governance and Business Ethics About the Report Our CSR Initiatives Aligned with a global mission of sustainability, Arise Foundation’s efforts resonate with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, serving as a roadmap to a brighter, healthier, and more equitable world. Our commitment is expressed through three core focus areas that address pressing global challenges: eradicating poverty, enhancing health and well-being, providing quality education, and driving climate action. These endeavors are thoughtfully curated to empower communities, fostering resilience and adaptation in harmony with nature. As we align ourselves with SDG 1, SDG 3, SDG 4, and SDG 13, our legacy is built not just on the promise of change but the actualization of hope and the enduring empowerment of humanity, hand in hand with sustainability. Based on the SDGs, we have categorised our CSR initiatives into three categories as detailed in the next section. 2. ESSEC Africa Chair Collaboration The Arise Foundation also partnered with ESSEC Business School to support the newly established Africa Chair: Business and Industry in Africa. This initiative provides students with a unique opportunity to study Africa’s rapid industrialization, focusing on critical areas such as raw material transformation, logistics, and global value chain integration. At Arise IIP, our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is reflected in a substantial investment annually, dedicated to uplifting marginalized communities and driving impactful change. This significant allocation underscores not only our dedication to addressing social inequities but also our unwavering belief in the power of structured and meaningful interventions. By channeling resources into three pivotal focus areas—poverty alleviation, health and well-being, and educational access—we demonstrate a deep, ongoing engagement with our CSR activities, all aligned with four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This financial commitment affirms our steadfast promise to sustainability and social empowerment, as we invest not only in immediate relief but also in long-term developmental progress that resonates far beyond numbers, nurturing lasting hope and transformative resilience in every community we touch.
