As one of the leaders in the ferrochrome industry, we have a re- sponsibility and a commitment to protect the environment, to conduct our business based on the highest ethical standards and to contribute to the sustainable development of the communi- ties within which we function.
We continuously aim to strengthen our commitment to im- proving the quality of the lives of people and communities in and around our operations. We believe that education holds the key to achieving this objective, and this philosophy trans- lates into support for a wide range of strategic internal and external education, training and development initiatives.
Samancor Chrome’s culture of continuous improvement en- courages its employees to further their studies and reach their full potential by maintaining an individual development plan. We invest significantly in our employees through training and development initiatives, including adult basic education and training (ABET), miner and artisan development initiatives, mentorships, a leadership development programme and study assistance programmes.
Through the Samancor Chrome Bursary Scheme and Graduate Development Programme we attract extraordinary young minds to the organisation, and turn their potential into performance. Bursaries are annually awarded to students currently studying in the fields of, Engineering, Geology, Rock Engineering and Survey- ing, Information Technology, HR, Finance, as well as in Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ).
Community engagement with a particular focus on education also forms a fundamental part of the Samancor Chrome Founda-
tion’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives. We invest in the education of our communities through a variety of proj- ects, enabling them to create a brighter future for themselves, while indirectly bolstering our country’s economic growth.
Our dedication to providing the members of our communities with every educational advantage possible is evident through a number of projects, including:
n The upgrade of teaching infrastructure in rural areas, includ- ing the erection of additional classrooms, libraries, school halls and workshops
n Various projects offering support and upgrade of educators’ skills and educational support material
n Providing supplementary classes for learners in especially mathematics and science
n An artisan training programme which enables high school learners to participate in study workshops which adds up to the practical hours required for a full apprenticeship.
Samancor Chrome continuously endeavours to develop and implement best practices in all areas of business, while sub- scribing to the priority of being a responsible corporate citizen. This ensures that, even though we are gearing our company for growth and advancement towards a bright future, we are still sharing the benefits of our existence with our employees and our communities by contributing to economic and social development.
