Corporate Social Investment
NMG is a keen and proud investor in community programmes. Social and Community responsibility is one of our 15 top line principles that management and staff agree is a must-have in our formula for success as a corporate. We believe it is important to give back to the community, helping them and the people within them achieve their goals.
Our CSI section is therefore responsible for maintaining good contacts with key stakeholders to ensure sustainable community partnerships; planning and driving the promotion, co-ordination and delivery of employee participation in community events.
Environment
While our main products- Newspapers- use recycled paper, we recognize that our business puts a strain to the environment in which we live. NMG has and will continue to organized and fund various initiatives is support of a sustaining the environment. One such project was The Nation Aberdare Forest Fund in which almost Kshs 10 million was raised to fence off the Aberdare ranges. This will help protect the forest from destruction and the surrounding communities from wildlife encroachment. So as our business grows, the forests grow with it and the environment flourishes.
Education
Education is key to the development of a country and is a major focus area for Nation Media Group. Through a partnership NMG has sponsored intelligent but needy students, one from every province in Kenya through their secondary education every year since 2006. So far, there are 24 high school beneficiaries; a practical example of our brand belief that states ‘…the development of an informed perspective enables communities to fulfill their true potential….’
Partnerships
The Nation Media Group joined four other partners in hosting the East Africa Business Summit.
The Summit saw over 80 CEO’s from around East Africa gather in Uganda at Kampala Serena to charter the path for the region’s economic future. The summit was themed ‘Enhancing East Africa’s Competitiveness’
The Nation Media Group is proud to be associated with the Kenya Top 100 mid-sized companies’ survey which seeks to identify Kenya’s fastest growing medium sized companies in order to showcase business excellence and highlight some of our most successful entrepreneurship stories.
Creativity and innovation, at the heart of all entrepreneurial experiences, are key pillars of the NMG. As the media market leaders, we believe in creating business solutions and developing ground-breaking products and this survey provided just such an opportunity. Indeed Business Daily, the premium newspaper launched in March 2007 and the only daily business publication featuring business news and analysis for the Kenyan market, is aimed at developing entrepreneurship in Kenya by making business make sense.
In partnership with KPMG, we at the NMG recognized that our economy is grown by small and mid-sized companies. However, only the big, successful companies are recognized, meaning there is no authoritative grading of smaller businesses or unified platform for the mid-sized businesses to network and be assessed.
The Top 100 survey presents an opportunity for participants to contribute to the development of industry databases and further to benchmark themselves against their peers. The Top 100 will further enjoy recognition as top performers at both national and industry level and as members of a prestigious club of ‘prosperity creators. The Top 100 will also attract the interest of private equity investors or industry strategic partners, providing them with the opportunity to network with investors a means of raising expansion capital and or securing strategic partners.
Participation was free for the companies who registered and the process entailed submission of data on financial indicators.
East Africa's Most Respected Company (EAMRC) Survey is held annually and is currently in its 9th year. Organised by The East African in conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers, it remains the only unique survey in the region where winners are nominated by their peers. The judges of which company become the most respected are the participating CEOs. In exercising their judgments, the CEOs determine the values and attributes that are important to them and then use those to determine which companies they respect most. The survey is primarily about respect which is integral to our value system. We have built up a unique picture of what drives respect in business over the past nine years. It also seeks the outlook of CEOs on issues that are topical and relevant to business growth and our economies. Some of the outcomes of this survey have been resounding East Africa support for the vision of integration. CEOs see it as essential to enhance business operational efficiencies, allowing free movement of resources and making the East Africa region more competitive in a world that is becoming more and more connected.
Nation’s CSI’s activities are not just a matter of giving away money or supporting in kind through complimentary advertising or airtime. Our well managed CSI programmes support the business objectives of the company, build relationships with key stakeholders whose opinion will be most valuable whether times are hard or not, and aim to reduce business costs and maximize effectiveness. At the Nation Media Group, we care about lives, we change lives.
