109 Sustainability Report 2024 Fostering An Inclusive Workplace Fostering Action on Climate Change Fostering Responsible Supply Chain GRI Content Index GABON TOGO In Gabon, our CSR activities were temporarily locked due to political instability. Despite facing tremendous challenges, we remained committed to our goal of promoting a clean environment in Gabon. These operations became the center of our CSR initiatives here. We organized cleaning operations upon request of the townhall. After hosting awarenessraising sessions and reopening the CSR budget, in the last quarter of CY 2024, our operations were carried out smoothly and effectively, impacting over 100 lives. In a commitment to community development, several impactful initiatives have been launched. T-shirt donation drives have supported orphanages, while the sponsorship of the PIA Trophy’s second edition promotes excellence. Educational efforts include book donations to Eyadema Millory College and financial backing for the Youth Africa Climate Camp, empowering youth with knowledge and environmental awareness. Additionally, schools affected by the PIA project have received crucial donations to aid student education, and free medical consultations. In November 2024, Arise IIP partnered with the PRAHA Foundation to empower underprivileged children and promote environmental awareness. Together, they organized a diya (clay lamp)-making activity, engaging around 50 children in a creative art session. Supported by dedicated volunteers, the children hand-painted eco-friendly clay lamps, choosing sustainable alternatives over plastic products. Empowering Futures Through Art and Sustainability This initiative not only fostered artistic expression and joy among the children but also encouraged climate-conscious choices among employees and participants. The funds raised by the PRAHA Foundation through this event were directed towards the education and well-being of the participating children. This collaborative effort reflects our ongoing commitment to inclusive growth, environmental sustainability, and the holistic well-being of the communities we serve.
