Pepper’s Corporate Social Responsibility Promise
Our Giving is mission based: Our mission is to help people succeed. Where there are great areas of need in our community that are not being served by traditional approaches, whether that be funding or otherwise, we look at how we can help those who are seeking out new or alternative pathways to help others.
We stay true to our values: Can Do people and projects, Balanced assessments of what we do, and always keeping things Real with solid processes to ensure success.
We support organisations that work to provide the social necessities of life including housing and shelter, transport, education, health and good living.
We work with organisations that are seeking an alternative or different pathway to help others who are underserved by traditional support structures.
We aim to inspire innovation and courage amongst those in need to find different pathways to achieve their goals. (Just like we have challenged the accepted to succeed.)
