To this end, the company has committed to the following:
- Donating 5% of its annual after tax profits on socio-economic development and enterprise development.
- Donating an average of 2 days of time per employee per annum to socio-economic development.
B & M Analysts has committed itself to supporting a local school, St Leos Primary School in Molweni. Using B & M Analysts' resources, a five year project plan has been drafted and a St Leo's School Trust is currently being established to allow other benefactors to support the school.
Thus far the company has been involved in the re-painting of the school, the implementation of a feeding programme and the creation of two bursaries for the top two students to attend Hillcrest High School. Over the next five years B & M Analysts hopes to assist the governing body and parents of St Leo's to create an environment of excellence through the successful implementation and execution of the project plan.
