Inclusive Development

Rogers House, a symbol of community engagement, recently hosted a remarkable event – the NGO Market.  This vibrant gathering aimed to highlight the craftsmanship and creativity of women from various NGOs.

The event provided a platform for these talented artisans to exhibit their exquisite, handcrafted products, ranging from handmade soap, accessories to intricately woven textiles. The NGO Market celebrated the skill, dedication, and cultural heritage preserved through these unique creations.

Circular Economy

Recycling has always been at the centre-stage on Rogers Capital sustainability agenda. For the past years we have set up multiple initiatives to structure a seamless recycling process across all Rogers Capital business units and departments. As of date we have implemented 3 projects that are followed meticulously:

Implementation of in-house paper recycling with We Recycle

Specific paper bins from We Recycle have been place at strategic locations in our offices. Every 15th of the month, the paper is collected and sent for recycling. This system has been very successful with the staff who have also been sensitised on the importance of paper recycling and how easy it is to do.

Paper Recycling Campaign to decrease our consumption

Implement in-house E-waste collection with BEM Recycling

Rogers Capital collected all used Toners, Batteries, old screens, CD/ DVD, a lot of material used by our Technology sector and sent the items for recycling. Getting such items properly recycled was very important to us, due to the damage they could have caused if not properly handled.

Vibrant Communities

In order to give our clients, the best, we must be our best. And how can you be in the best of shape both physical and mental? The answer is simple, you nurture your body and soul, treat them like a temple and honour them. As the saying goes “A sound body keeps a sound mind”.

Eye Test Screening

As such, the health and safety department organised a complimentary eye test for all the staff from the 9th to 11th February 2021, in the Rogers House parking lot. The tests were facilitated by i2i Optical Ltd. Free consultations offered to the staffs by a qualified optometrist as well as amazing offers on prescribed glasses. The initiative was a huge success as more than 185 employees got the eye test done.

Blood Donation

Helping out people in need is a great way to become the best version of ourselves! A blood donation co- organised by Rogers Capital and the US Embassy on the 18th of February 2021 saw an impressive turn – out with many dedicated employees selflessly giving blood. Donating blood is a wonderful act and to all our donors!

Last donation was on 10th February 2022 where we received about 65 participants but only 39 were successful donors.
