Contribution to the community

ACC attaches great importance to the social responsibility of business.  People are our most valuable assets, and we strive to build positive relationships with the local communities and governments in every country that we work.
Our management strongly believes in giving back to the community, helping to improve social, environmental and health conditions. To fulfill this part of our mission, ACC  donates time and money to a variety of community projects. In 2009, ACC (as well as other mining and exploration companies) contributed to rebuilding homes that were lost in Ouagadougou flooding. In 2009, ACC supported the Festival des Lycees et Colleges (FLYC) at Lycee Provincial du Tuy, a local school in Houndé. The FLYC is organized to promote environmental awareness in West Africa.

Meningitis is a continuing problem among the people of West Africa. In 2010, ACC organized a meningitis vaccination campaign for its employees and their families. All employees and family members were vaccinated.

We are also involved in the financing of organizations such as APEE (Association des Parents et Amis d’Enfants Encéphalopathes du Burkina Faso) and FIBB (Fédération ivoirienne du basketball).

APEE
APEE is an association of parents, friends and sympathizers of children with intellectual deficits suffering from the associated deficits.  They wish to improve the conditions of integration of these children in Burkina Faso. Acknowledged as an NGO for over seventeen years, the association is now active in two cities, their pioneer institute being the medical, psychological and educational center L’Espoir located in Ouagadougou.  This center has offered close to 195 000 consultations to children between its inauguration in 1991 and December 2008.

The high prevalence rates of incapacitating diseases in Burkina Faso, the lack or poverty of structures for case management, as well as the marginalization that the children and their families suffer, are reasons for which this association was created. Their goal is to improve these conditions and to fight for these children’s rights to life, health, education, information, training, work, culture, leisure and sports.

ACC International Holdings helps the NGO to reach their goals and fulfill their mission by offering a financial support for projects such as the fruit and vegetable garden.  The main reason for this garden is to feed the children, but the sale of its products also helps financing the association.  Amongst other things, ACC has helped finance the irrigation of the garden in order to favor sustainability of the project.  We have also made possible the construction of an integrative education center for children with mental deficiencies.

The Basketball Federation of the Ivory Coast was created in 1970 and is now presided by the pastor and former player Moïse Loussouko Koré.  Since 1994, there has been a growing interest for the sport across the nation and today, it has become a social and cultural phenomenon that cannot be ignored.  The country has seen a continual rise in the number of participants, clubs, teams and finance partners. The subsidiary C&L Natural Resources is contributing to financing the Federation.  Through this partnership it promotes sports and a healthy lifestyle for the young generation in the country.
