- More Than Just Community Involvement: The Transnet Foundation, which drives Transnet’s CSI initiatives, spends close to R160 million per year on community projects and sponsorships.
- Committed to Social and Humanitarian Programmes: To enhance the impact of their donations and to reflect their business model as well as results-driven corporate culture, Transnet focuses its resources on projects that draw upon the specialist skills and experiences of their people.
- Programmes – and People – that have Benefitted From their Help: Making a Difference Trust: The initiative was founded by Karolina Andropoulos, whose daughter succumbed to cancer in a public hospital. It seeks to enhance the quality of care in paediatric units in public hospitals.
