Avon and Dedisa’s Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and Investment

At Avon and Dedisa, our corporate responsibility extends beyond our power plants and into the communities we serve. Our vision encompasses not just business excellence, but also making a tangible difference in the regions where we operate.

Our focal points in socio-economic development include:

Education

Prioritizing early childhood development for a robust foundation.

Social Welfare

Emphasizing health and overall well-being.

Enterprise and Supplier development

Championing growth and innovation.

SMME Development

Cultivating small, medium, and micro-sized enterprises.

Our commitment to enterprise and supplier development zeroes in on promoting and elevating B-BBEE entities. This approach stems from a deep-rooted belief in bolstering enterprises from a developmental perspective.

Our dedication is unwavering: to foster the sustainable growth of the communities we operate in. We aim to not only contribute but to collaborate, forging partnerships that create pathways for these communities into the broader economy.

For instance, Avon’s pioneering enterprise and supplier development projects have birthed initiatives like the Phumelela Enterprise Development programme. Beyond our regular contributions, Avon has, over the years, embarked on additional ventures to offer extended support to communities.

On the other hand, Dedisa has been a beacon of enterprise and supplier development with projects like EneGro 4 & 5. Its continuous backing of Mfesane further underscores our shared commitment to community upliftment and development.
