Hitachi Energy, advancing a sustainable energy future for all, also strives to make a significant difference in local communities. The global technology leader has donated to the El-Shammah Child & Youth Care Centre in Germiston, Johannesburg.
The main objective of the centre facilitates a safe home environment where these babies can find a place of love, care, and protection provided by full-time qualified and trained givers on a 24/7 basis.
As a Non-Profit organization, the centre is entirely dependent on public donations to keep its doors open. Hitachi Energy zorganized a donation drive within the organization based on El-Shammah’s wish list as part of its larger corporate responsibility initiative (CSI).
“We have supported, and continue to support, various value creation initiatives. Beyond technical innovation, we look to our impact on society and how we can improve lives and inspire others,” says Hitachi Energy’s Finance Director for Southern Africa Michelle Sampson.
“As we advance the world’s energy system to become more sustainable, flexible, and secure, we must balance social, environmental, and economic value to make true progress. This includes making a meaningful contribution to the local communities in which we operate,” says Malvin Naicker, Managing Director, Hitachi Energy, Sub-Saharan Africa.
“I am very proud that the employees of Hitachi Energy have contributed to the El-Shammah project. This project spearheaded by our finance team and support by the whole of Hitachi Energy,” highlights Naicker.
