Thobo Trust
Creating shared value

Want to create a lasting impact in people's lives?

At the heart of our strategy and operations lies a strong commitment to sustainable management. This is crucial for ensuring that Senwes remains a sustainable business entity in the long run. Our goal is not only to ensure the sustainability of our business but also to contribute to the stability and equity of society and the preservation of the natural environment. To achieve this, we take into account the impact of our actions on society and the environment and develop strategies to minimise negative effects and maximise positive ones. By doing so, we remain conscious of our responsibility to create a better world for future generations.

Established in 2014, Thobo Trust operates as an independent trust and serves as Senwes' strategic partner for BBBEE and socio-economic development. The beneficiaries of the trust are primarily made up of Senwes employees, farm workers, emerging farmers and communities located in rural areas where Senwes conducts business.
