Charity
Let's be honest. I started this company to get rich. To buy a big house, fancy cars and secure the financial future for myself and my children. But what are my goals after that? I'm not buying a helicopter or a yacht. They crash and sink!
I already know what my personal goals will be. To do 'good' for others.
That's done by providing sustainable and well paying jobs for people AND giving money to charity to help others and animals.
So, I made it company policy to donate a minimum of 10% of profts to charities. If the company does well, we will donate more than 10%. Starting from 01APR 2025, we will record our donations on this page, so you can see if we are good to our word.
