HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Social responsibility is an ethical theory in which individuals are accountable for fulfilling their civic duty, and the actions of an individual must benefit the whole of society. In this way, there must be a balance between economic growth and the welfare of society and the environment.

At Prodigious, we have chosen a few beneficiaries that are very close to our heart where we feel we can make a difference not only to our industry, but also our community, society and environment as a whole.

These beneficiaries are listed below:

The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is aimed at saving lives at sea and operates from over 30 bases around the coast of South Africa. The heartbeat of the organisation is its 1000+ skillful, experienced and unpaid volunteers, who are on standby throughout the year, day and night. The NSRI relies solely on donations and sponsorships to cover the costs involved in operations and training. This is a cause that lies close to our heart and as such, Prodigious supports the organisation by means of financial contributions in order for them to continue to do the very important work they do. Please visit their website at www.nsri.org.za to find out how you can contribute to the organisation that might someday save your life, or the life of a loved one.

Their objective is to serve and protect ALL animals, to uplift their welfare and to ensure that the protection they have under South African law is upheld and respected. The mission of the NSPCA is to prevent cruelty and promote the welfare of all animals, whilst our vision is to end animal cruelty In South Africa and engender compassion for all animals. At Prodigious, we are animal lovers and believe in doing our part to help protect animals great and small, not in as a business, but in our private capacities as well.
