In addition to achieving our objectives, we believe it is important for our company to be socially engaged and contribute to a better world. That is why we have chosen to support the work of Oxfam Novib as a corporate ambassador.
Oxfam Novib focuses on people living in poverty in developing countries. Through their microfinance program, entrepreneurial individuals there receive a small credit, giving them the opportunity to start their own business and establish an independent livelihood. This way, people can work towards their own future and that of their country. As ambassadors, we support all these efforts.
As a company, we believe it is important not only to deliver good products/services but also to contribute to a world without poverty. Borrowing from a bank is often not an option for poor people. Thanks to our support, people in developing countries are given the same opportunities as us. They can start their own business with a loan and strive towards an independent livelihood. Oxfam Novib helps us showcase our ambassadorship and social engagement externally.
“Oxfam Novib is keen to collaborate with the business community towards a world without poverty and with equal opportunities for all by providing access to microcredit for disadvantaged individuals. In everything Oxfam Novib does, we believe in the power of the people themselves. Being able to take care of yourself is essential for building an independent livelihood. Additionally, it contributes to the sustainable economic development of a country.”
Tom van der Lee, Director of Campaigns at Oxfam Novib
