CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

ADVANCEKHAYA
AdvanceKhaya is a social upliftment programme designed to improve the quality of life of all unskilled
and semi-skilled staff employed by the Company. While our minimum wage employees are
remunerated at over twice that of the minimum determined by the Department of Labour, it is our
experience that very little disposable income typically remains for individuals employed in entry
level positions.

It is for this reason that we have introduced a housing allowance for all employees who earn less
than a certain amount each month, a benefit intended to ensure that we are doing our utmost
to provide our staff with a reasonable quality of life.

ADVANCEKIDS
The AdvanceKidz initiative was started in 2006 and is designed to assist all employees earning
less than a specified amount. They have the opportunity for their children to
receive education at a better level and with better facilities where their remuneration is
insufficient to provide this elevated level.

The initiative is currently paying all the costs for 18 children from the ages of 1 year to
17 years to attend pre nursery, nursery, junior and senior schools in areas that they
live, as in the case of outside of Gauteng, or in the Rivonia, Sunninghill area if they
live with their parents in the surrounding area.

MYSCHOOL
AdvanceNet is a proud supporter of the MySchool Programme, South Africa’s
foremost fund raising initiative for schools. Every new employee is given a
MySchool card when they join the company.

LEARNERS LICENSES
Every employee, irrespective of their position within the Company, is given the
opportunity to obtain their driver’s license though the Company. The costs of any
driving lessons required and the test itself are covered by the Company and over
20 employees have completed, or are in the process of completing, their
licenses to date.

YEAR END CHARITY INITIATIVE


All customers, suppliers and other stakeholders are sent an electronic
greetings card, in lieu of a traditional card, thanking them for their
support during the year and wishing them a happy festive season.

By sending out an electronic card instead of the traditional paper-


based alternative, the Company saves approximately R15 per
card which is then donated to a charity selected by the
recipient from a list predefinedby the Company.
