Csr Community

As a part of the four pillar structure of CST's Social Responsibility program Community has rapidly become the most active pillar throughout the organization contributing to the development of the local communities where we operate. Since it's release in 2011 the Community pillar of our Corporate Social Responsibility program has developed tremendously thanks to the commitment of our employees to share their knowledge, offer they time and creativity. We are bringing back value to society specifically to the local communities where we live and work. We are currently active in more than fifteen countries including India, China, Morocco, Germany, United States, Mexico England and France. Emergency support and regular long-term support to community development are the two main aspects in which CST's Community program is collaborating with local communities. We consider contributing to economic development and education key aspects in the creation of a better environment for the company and our employees. Besides our support of associations involved in emergency disaster relief operations we are targeting 4 main types of activities to fight the effect of poverty, to support education, to support employment and create an efficient economic ecosystem. However the success of Community is based not only on the proven enthusiasm of our employees to improve their communities and the solid support of the company it also relies on having a comprehensive but customized local plan. We are adapting our actions plans to the local needs of each area according to its economic profiles and reaching out to local organizations which are in line with our objectives. The more challenging areas are usually the most active in Community activities and we see there a greater opportunity to help. In all parts of the world whatever the economic level and general quality of life you will always find tremendous challenges so we are ready to keep working since no doubt there is still alot to be done We look forward to engaging in more Community activities seeking to empower individuals by providing them with the skills they need to drive change in their own communities.
