ABOUT SAFMARINE'S CONTAINERS-IN-THE-COMMUNITY PROGRAMME
- In 1992, Safmarine pioneered the 'Containers in the Community' corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme involving the re-use of seafreight containers, 'retired' from ocean-going service, into permanent, land-based structures. More than 8000 containers have been converted since the project began two decades ago. The majority of projects have focused on education and skills development.
- For this initiative Safmarine has received a number of awards, among them the Lloyd's List Award 'for creativity of using containers' and Education Africa's 'Presidential and Premier Education Award'. Tsai Design Studio recently won a Silver Loerie Award for the multi-functional Grade R classroom facility at Vissershok Primary School near Durbanville, South Africa. This project is a partnership between Safmarine and its retail customer Woolworths. Safmarine has also been shortlisted for a SAMSA 2012/2013 Maritime Award in South Africa in the 'Commitment to CSI' category. The winner will be announced on the 20 April 2013.
