CIS implements CSR policies to promote the socio-economic development of the local communities.
Today, 99% of our employees and 96% of our purchases are from the local area. We organise various actions in the areas of farming, local business development, support for suppliers, training and the employment of the local communities, all with the aim of sharing our know-how with these communities and helping the local economy grow.
In Mozambique, CIS has implemented an initiative that supports 250 local farmers, by helping them learn sustainable farming techniques that they can then use to diversify their production and increase their crop yield.
In Niger, CIS has implemented a project to provide support to a group of vegetable producers in Arlit, a town in the north of the country. This initiative has a direct economic impact as it provides employment for 50 women and also has an indirect impact on 1,000 people in the region.
