In addition to achieving our objectives, we believe it is important as a company to be socially engaged and contribute to a better world. Therefore, we choose to support the work of Oxfam Novib as a corporate ambassador.
Oxfam Novib focuses on people living in poverty in developing countries. Through their microfinancing program, entrepreneurial individuals there receive a small loan. This provides them with the opportunity to start their own business and build an independent existence. This way, people can work towards their own future and that of their country. As ambassadors, we support all of this.
As a company, we deem it important not only to deliver good products/services but also to contribute to a world without poverty. Borrowing from a bank is often not feasible for poor individuals. 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 for an independent existence. Oxfam Novib helps us to communicate our ambassadorship and social commitment externally.
"Oxfam Novib enjoys collaborating with the business sector towards a world without poverty and equal opportunities for all, by granting underprivileged individuals access to microcredit. Everything Oxfam Novib does is based on the strength of the people themselves. Being able to take care of oneself is crucial for building an independent existence. Additionally, it contributes to the sustainable economic development of a country."
Tom van der Lee, Campaign Director at Oxfam Novib
