Putco started investing in communities in which we operate in 1982, long before there were any incentives from Government.
The Putco Corporate Social Investment (CSI) Foundation has shifted its focus from donating money and seeks to complement government efforts in fighting poverty, improving the living conditions of the vulnerable and enhancing the skills base amongst the youth.
We partner with the community organizations to ensure that identified projects address the needs of communities and are aligned to government priorities and the integrated Development Plans (IDPs) of Municipalities.
The Foundation has spent millions on CSI projects including providing bursaries to numerous beneficiaries.
21 Medical Doctors and 12 Technical students have graduated through our bursary scheme.
12 apprentice students are identified annually and given a 3-year study opportunity at the Putco Training Academy.
