OUR STRATEGY AND APPROACH

Solving social challenges with business solutions

For our business to prosper, our local communities must also prosper. Our Shared Value Approach is integrated into the heart of our business strategy – to mobilise our business to come together to create value for us and for the communities we serve.

CREATING SHARED VALUE FOR CTG AND OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Our Shared Value Approach is a purpose-based business strategy that aligns our long-term commercial interests with the interests of our local communities. Founded on our understanding of areas where we could have the biggest impact, this strategy seeks to create economic value for our business by addressing social needs and challenges to simultaneously create value for those beyond our business. And importantly, the more our business grows, the more value we can create for the fragile and conflict-affected countries where we operate.

Our strategy also provides a framework that enables CTG to continually improve, standardise, and expand our commitment to sustainability.

OUR 2022 COMMUNICATION
ON PROGRESS REPORT

Accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Our approach is guided by our commitment to the SDGs. Leveraging our experience and capabilities within the aid and development sectors, we identified three SDGs where we could influence the greatest impact: SDG 5 Gender Equality, SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG 16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.

Sustainable Development Goals

These SDGs reflect our internal values and have formed the foundation upon which our impact focus areas are built:

  • Putting people first: creating an inclusive, rewarding and safe workplace
  • Transparency and corporate governance
  • Promoting peace, partnerships and protecting our environment

CALLING ON COLLECTIVE ACTION

At CTG we believe that through collective action we can do more. Our collaborative approach led us to joining various international forums, maintaining internationally recognised certifications, and reporting yearly on our sustainability progress. We adhere to the following international standards and guiding principles:

USING OUR VOICE

A firm believer that the Private Sector has a key role to play in sustainable development and helping the refugee and migration crisis, CTG continues to actively use public platforms to share our voice, inspire other businesses and galvanise further support for gender and peace initiatives.
