China Sonangol is a significant contributor
to the improvement of community development and supports the revonation and
construction of schools, kindergartens and hospitals around the regions in
which we invest. Following our business values and corporate social responsibility,
China Sonangol also supports numerous charitable works scattered throughout the
different communities we undertake our business.
Our dedication to sustainable, effective and
environmentally friendly development, as well as the stability of Angola is at
the very centre of our organization’s philosophy. This commitment to providing
for communities, charities and non-profit organizations is evident in the
annual budget set aside for investment in community projects.
China
Sonangol is working tirelessly towards providing better conditions and an
improved quality of life for the development of Angola by supporting projects
in education, the arts, sports, science and the environment.
Commitment
to the Community
As well as being the largest contributor to
the State's budget, the China
Sonangol International oil company has undertaken the responsibility of
implementing a vast number of social projects in an effort termed,
"Together with the Community".
Cabinda is the province that has benefited
the most from more than thrity community projects aimed at improving society.
In 2003 alone, more than six million dollars were generously donated to
community organization’s in an effort to provide much needed financial support
in areas related to public health, education, culture, sports and agriculture.
Social
Policies
Improving the quality of life, especially
housing, of our employees is a continuous matter for consideration by our
Administration Council. Because of this, they allocated resources for building
housing.
To supervise the construction of housing
complexes, "GEPA" and "NOVOS BAIRROS", a "social
project committee" was created. The new housing projects are being built
at Morro Bento, Corimba and Golfe-Camama.
In 200O "Cooperativa Cajueiro, Sociedade
Cooperativa de Responsabilidade Limitada" was established to minimize the
housing problems of our employees.
At China Sonangol it is vital to the entire
operation of our business that we give back to the regions we invest in and
undertake our business. By ensuring we provide for local communities we can
ensure a prosperous future, not just for our organization, but society as a
whole.
