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.

In the spirit of bringing to the fore the rich cultural practices and rituals in Mauritius, Assad Bhuglah sheds new light on the Muslim tradition of celebrating the arrival of a newborn in a family. Currimjee Jeewanjee co-sponsored the publication of the author’s new book, Aqeeqa, which was unveiled in September 2020. The artwork on the cover was painted by Nasreen Banu Ahseek.

Written both in English and Kreol, the book is set in a context of conviviality and peaceful coexistence between our diverse communities. It delves into the important place that multiculturalism holds in Mauritius, and how the birth of a child is a celebration shared by neighbours and friends of all faiths and creeds. The idea behind the book is to highlight how sharing and understanding of our differences solidifies our binds and shapes our collective strength.
