Transnet Employee Volunteer Programme (EVP)
About the Programme
EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME (EVP)
THE EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME (EVP) IS AN OVERALL TRANSNET (SOC) LTD STRATEGY FALLING UNDER THE TRANSNET FOUNDATION GEARED TO CONCEPTUALISE, IMPLEMENT AND RUN COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS IN LINE WITH TRANSNET’S OVERARCHING CORPORATE STRATEGY.
Over the years, the EVP programme has achieved resounding success through the involvement of and the use of the myriad of skills and expertise of its own workforce. With more than 60 000 employees, Transnet (SOC) Ltd has successfully managed to deploy its employees’ skills and resources to help improve the livelihoods of people in various communities within which the company operates.
The EVP matches the broad wealth of skills and knowledge in Transnet with the broad range of developmental needs of a receiving community, whether it be infrastructure development, job creation or skills development. In 2013, our workforce descended on De Aar and painted the city red and green with the foundation corporate colours. The EVP worked on the De Aar Youth Precinct, a gift aimed at improving the livelihood of the community and the youth of De Aar.
In 2014, Transnet (SOC) Ltd employees went all out to Orange Farm where they constructed 67 crèche toilets and connected them to the main Johannesburg sewer network. Through the use of its own workforce’ skills, the Company was able to deliver clean and newly constructed toilets with running water to the unsuspecting and pleasantly welcoming Orange Farm toddlers.
“Volunteering is our culture, a trait embedded in our DNA and fully supported by our overarching corporate strategy.”
