Urban & Rural Social Responsibilities |
Corporate Social Responsibility for Urban and Rural Development
Our urban and rural responsibilities, therefore, forms an integral part of the ‘give back’ strategy to the communities within the urban and rural society who embrace our working deployments in their society either by exploration, drilling, producing and more. The GeoSouthern Energy Corporation has made the capability of planning and developing such communities to the highest standard of living, contributing towards the betterment and upliftment of society and maintaining harmonious relationships are seen as important, both on business and societal levels.
In a nutshell, it means understanding the important connection between good work and improving profits.
The needs for urban and rural development:
Building infrastructure and establishing public services and communication.
Improving education as well as health standards and living conditions.
Generating employment opportunities across a range of expertise and skills.
Benefits for both indigenes and companies
While most urban and rural areas hold tremendous potential for investment and expansion for business, there are certain challenges that remain, namely a lack of electricity, power insecurities, poor literacy, traditional ways of thinking, ignorance of new technologies, water scarcity, lack of adequate transport, and the lack of interest and motivation among many to stay in these areas.
Despite this, we look past these problems and express a willingness to work in partnership with the government to implement urban and rural plans, or set up their own initiatives, which are most likely to create satisfying ‘win-win’ situations. The benefits are considerable, both immediate and long term.
Making a difference: Helping people to improve their lives is both motivating and satisfying. Seeing real results over time is important for future generations that may well be future employee or customers.
Motivating your staff: The new vogue in work ethics is working for a company that contributes to good work. When a company demonstrates an ethos of upliftment and improvement of the lives of the poor, this in turn motivates staff to increase productivity because they see real value in their work. Choosing a workplace can have as much to do with improving societal issues as it does about salary. Many people want to be involved in helping to improve the standards of the poor and to be associated with a company that can prove a sound track record in such projects.
The broader benefit: Improving the urban and rural component of a country Helps the overall economy. Growth prospects that are highlighted and driven in both areas will help to improve sales, investment and trade in general.
Such activities can only help the economy to grow thereby creating opportunities for further investment and jobs. This, in turn, contributes towards the success of any company directly associating urban and rural developments.
