Ensure inclusive equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Support for education is intrinsic to our sustainability strategy. We are committed to providing our people with opportunities to realise their full potential through continuous learning and development. We also work to support our communities and disadvantaged groups where we operate. This commitment includes improving access to education resources #supporting education and supporting programmes in schools and universities around the world.
Through a combination of financial donations and volunteer support from our employees in Sudan over a period of several months, we were able to complete repairs at the school allowing the 403 students to return to classrooms in July 2018.
