The Currimjee Jeewanjee Group (CJ) has long believed that business growth and the environment go hand in hand. We recognise the compelling challenges faced by our planet and island, from biodiversity loss to dwindling natural resources, and we are resolved to playing a meaningful role in addressing these.

Our commitment to environmental sustainability extends beyond compliance and one-off actions; instead, we use sustainability as a lens to drive our strategies, operations and behaviors. This applies to our corporate office, our clusters and individual business units. Through our adherence to international frameworks and standards, our ongoing digitisation initiatives, responsible waste management and the use of renewable energy, amongst others, we strive to contribute to a more sustainable society.

Guided by our core values, we have developed a Group-level E&S framework that considers the environmental and sustainability aspects most pertinent to our planet, and relevant to our strategy and stakeholders, with the UN SDGS as our blueprint. Strong leadership, effective management and the continuous engagement of our employees are all key to ensuring that we progress towards achieving our sustainability goals.

As a Small Island Developing State, we are keenly aware of the critical challenges posed by climate change and diligently honour our responsibility to reduce our contribution and vulnerability to this global threat. The adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015 committed the world to the long term objective to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) induced global warming to below 2ºC above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature rise even further to 1.5ºC.

At CJ, we aim to support this goal by decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions from our operations through the promotion of renewable solar energy harvesting, facilitating energy efficiency, proper fleet management, and carbon offset revegetation programmes.

We are committed to preserving the unique but endangered native and endemic flora, fauna, and supporting ecosystems of Mauritius, as we are conscious of their ecological importance for humankind. We do so by supporting and actively participating in terrestrial and marine ecosystem restoration programmes such as revegetation of native forest areas, coral farming, mangrove planting, and flora and fauna conservation programmes.

Within our operations CJ has been only procuring paper sourced from responsibly managed forests (FSC and PEFC certified), and has also worked hard to reduce use of paper through digitisation. Water is a particularly important resource for island states such as Mauritius, and we minimise the demands our operations place on the local water supply by installing water saving devices and capturing rainwater for use, as applicable.

We actively promote the circular economy of our waste materials through the recycling and upcycling of as many of these as possible. A waste management system facilitates responsible disposal of all paper, PET and electronic waste generated by our operations through registered recyclers. The process is supported by our Waste Management Policy which provides guidelines for this initiative. CJ also encourages employees to bring their personal recyclable paper, plastic and electronic waste from home to dispose of through the facilities provided by the company. This initiative is also extended to the community through our national e-waste collection programme, and through the network of PET plastic collection bins placed in key locations across Mauritius.

Engaging our employees in our sustainability agenda is key to achieving our overall, long term objective of protecting and preserving the environment. By promoting environmental stewardship, we are establishing values that will develop and foster an awareness of the importance of our environment, and the vital resources we depend on. We do so through group wide environmental awareness sessions and by encouraging our employees’ participation in the environmental related activities delivered both internally within our companies, and externally in the communities we operate in.

The Currimjee Group believes passionately in the power of the Arts and Culture to strengthen our communities and sustain their collective identity. Not only are they fundamental to our humanity, but they also foster creativity, build bridges between cultures, and enhance our social fabric, allowing real connection between people across barriers and obstacles that exist in the everyday.

Nurturing a love of creativity, and encouraging the celebration of diversity and differences, is integral to the magic of Arts and Culture. For many years we have supported homegrown talent and been proud sponsors of a range of cultural events, aspiring to empower our youth in particular, to express themselves through dance, music, painting, crafts, and literature.

Currimjee Jeewanjee proudly sponsored Cassis Judo Fraternel Club’s participation in the Reunion Island Judo Tournament (February 15–16, 2025), which united athletes from French clubs, Madagascar, Rodrigues, Cassis Judo Club, and Ste Croix Judo. The event marked a milestone in the judokas’ development, showcasing sportsmanship and unity. This initiative underscores Currimjee Jeewanjee’s commitment to fostering athletic excellence and community engagement, with plans to continue supporting regional sports efforts.

Currimjee Jeewanjee, a dedicated supporter of arts and culture in Mauritius, was proud to sponsor the staging of INTRA MUROS at the Caudan Arts Centre in March 2025. Written and directed by acclaimed French playwright Alexis Michalik, INTRA MUROS is a powerful dramatic comedy set in a prison, exploring the intersecting lives of five characters through a unique drama workshop. The play, known for its emotional depth, humor, and inventive storytelling, offered Mauritian audiences a memorable and thought-provoking theatrical experience. Currimjee Jeewanjee reaffirms its commitment to enriching the local cultural scene by supporting such inspiring artistic endeavors.

Currimjee Jeewanjee is proud to once again sponsor the 10th edition of MAMA JAZ, Mauritius’ month-long festival dedicated to creative music and jazz. Taking place throughout April 2025, the festival features a diverse lineup of international and local artists performing at renowned venues including the Caudan Arts Centre, Café du Vieux Conseil, and Creative Park in Beau Plan. MAMA JAZ offers audiences the opportunity to experience a wide range of musical genres, with both free and ticketed events designed to make music accessible to all. Currimjee Jeewanjee remains committed to supporting cultural initiatives that enrich Mauritius’ vibrant arts scene and celebrate the unifying power of music.

Currimjee Jeewanjee proudly supported the “Flame Festival” event which facilitates the communication between businesses and individuals.

The event was hosted by the Association of Communication Agencies Mauritius (ACA) on the 10th of October, at the Caudan Arts Centre, regrouping professionals, agencies and creatives around one common theme: communication.

This conference also harboured companies and interested parties from Madagascar, Reunion, the Comoros and Mayotte islands, with the aim to discuss various topics and delve into activities around the theme of communication in today’s world.

Currimjee was the proud sponsor of the temporary exhibition “Planet’R” (Refuse. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Rot) organized by L’Aventure du Sucre. By supporting and promoting this temporary exhibition, the Group reiterates its commitment towards sustainable development and particularly towards the protection of our Planet and hence embarking on this journey to sensitize the public at large.

The employees of Currimjee Jeewanjee together with the young artists of l’Atelier Mo’zar, NGO that we’ve been supporting for years now, gathered to compose and sing, an original song that stands as a call for urgent actions to safeguard our planet.

The music was composed by local famous Jazzman, Philippe Thomas, and the amazing artists of Mo'Zar. This initiative reflects our support to Arts and culture while raising awareness on environmental issues.

CJ has been proudly supporting l’Atelier Mo’Zar for years, a music school whose philosophy is centered on using music to enable social inclusion and promoting talented young artists.

CJ aims to continue playing a meaningful part in empowering our youth to express themselves through creativity and culture.

Currimjee is supporting the Samudra Art Prize 2025, an art competition open to all Mauritian visual talents. This year, the chosen theme is water, our white gold - a theme that highlights a resource as essential as it is fragile.

Through this initiative, art becomes a powerful vehicle for awareness. It allows us to see, feel, and reflect. It invites everyone to take a fresh look at the issues surrounding water: its scarcity, its beauty, and the absolute necessity of protecting it.

This message resonates deeply with the values of the Currimjee Group. Having always been committed to a more sustainable future we understand how crucial our role is in preserving natural resources.

Supporting the Samudra Art Prize means reinforcing the conviction that art can awaken consciences, spark dialogue, and mobilize people around the causes that truly matter.

We are pleased to support the 100% local play "J’oublie souvent qu’il n’est ZAMETROTAR", written, composed, and performed by Carol Lamport, with visuals by Pascal Lagesse.

This support is part of our commitment to local art and culture. Through this partnership, the Currimjee Group reaffirms its desire to support Mauritian artistic projects, highlight local talent, and contribute actively to the cultural influence of our society. We are also proud to associate ourselves with a work that echoes the empowerment of Mauritian women, a cause that is very close to our hearts.

We were pleased to support another initiative that strengthens the place of Arts and Culture in Mauritius.

Immedia recently held the award ceremony for the first edition of the “Konkour Lekritir Teatral Pri Dev Virahsawmy 2025-2026’. Congratulations to Madayah Condeah, winner of this inaugural edition.

For us, supporting the arts also means supporting the ideas, languages and forms of expression that shape a society. This competition does exactly that by encouraging theatrical writing in Mauritian Creole, celebrating creative voices, and giving greater visibility to a language that carries memory, identity and cultural depth.

More than a literary prize, this initiative creates space for artistic expression, recognises emerging talent, and reaffirms the importance of theatre and language in the cultural life of the country. Through projects like these, culture remains alive, relevant and accessible, while opening doors for a new generation of writers.

The Currimjee Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to social development by becoming a Gold Sponsor of the Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) Mauritius Schools Art Prize. This partnership aligns with the Currimjee Group’s mission to support high-impact projects that empower young people, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds.

Now in its 9th year, the competition has grown into a nationwide initiative, celebrating art and culture as vital tools for social cohesion. For this latest edition, 128 submissions from 26 schools were narrowed down to 30 finalist artworks.
