Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Charter

"Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."

(Philippians 2:4)

At Michael Moyo International, we are committed to making a positive difference in the communities in which we live and work. We recognize that responsible behavior is our calling card; creating opportunities to generate greater value for our shareholders, while at the same time fostering good livelihoods and spiritual well-being in the communities and countries where we operate. We strive to earn the trust of all with whom we interact - whether they be our employees, the immediate communities, governments or any other persons/parties with whom we engage in our quest as a company to realize our goals.

We endorse the definition of Corporate Social Responsibility as proposed by the World Bank: “Corporate Social Responsibility is the commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development - working with employees, their families, the local community and society at large to improve the quality of life, in ways that are both good for business and good for development.”

Key Factors:

Ethics: The Michael Moyo International’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics mandates that we conduct our business with the ethical standards set forth in that Code and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. We strive to act as a responsible corporate citizen and lend our expertise to help engage in constructive public dialogue and informed debate on issues of importance to the company and the communities in which we operate.

Employees: Michael Moyo International is committed to developing the full potential of our employees. We respect and value each of our employees and observe the fundamental tenets of human rights, safety and non-discrimination in the workplace. We fairly compensate our employees for their contributions, provide meaningful performance feedback to them and offer them professional development and training opportunities. We encourage accountability and employee involvement in issues affecting the workplace to help improve safety and work conditions, as well as our efficiency and our business. We also recognize that best practices in this important area continue to evolve and that, accordingly, we must learn and evolve as well.

Community: Michael Moyo International fully considers social, cultural, environmental, governmental and economic factors when evaluating project development opportunities. In those communities in which we operate, we interact with local residents, governments, non-governmental organizations, international agencies and other interested groups to facilitate long-term and beneficial resource development. We give priority to building partnerships in entrepreneurial endeavors that contribute to enhancing local capacity, and we also commit to providing financial support to organizations through our charitable donations, budgets and policies. The employment of the local community members is also a priority. We respect the interests of all members of the communities in which we conduct business, and we encourage open, constructive dialogue and interaction with them. We take the responsibility to listen carefully, be responsive and provide information that is accurate, appropriate and timely.

MMI's Corporate Social Responsibility Pillars

MMI is unique, in that much of its operations are geared towards the realization of its corporate social responsibility mandate. The company aims to create a resource base through investments, in order to finance its charity and social welfare causes, and also to support the church and other kingdom-based initiatives to advance the kingdom of God. To this effect, the company exhibits elements of a foundation, with the following CSR pillars:

  • Charity & Social Welfare
  • Church Support & Development

"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

(Galatians 6:2)

To help in reducing the severity of poverty and to uplift the living conditions of the poor - especially in Africa and Latin America. This is done through love and compassion, in a way that exudes the love of the Lord Jesus Christ towards the needy.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me…Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
(Matthew 25:35-40)

To assist the Body of Christ in various capacities to enhance church growth, advancement and fruitfulness, with emphasis on the church in developing nations. This includes advocacy for holiness and truth in the church.

"For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is."
(1 Corinthians 3:11-13)
