A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL

AFRICORP CONSORTIUM has determined, through its roadmap, four guidelines for its development:

  • Sector diversification,by creating multi-sector centers of excellence with strategic trades for Morocco and the continent.
  • Support the performance of industry, through the strengthening of industrial capacities and the development of professions linked to Morocco’s Industrial Acceleration Plan. The production of automotive components and the launch of a recycling plant to transform used PET plastic bottles into polyester fibers are part of this strategy.
  • To bring out the talents of tomorrow, with particular emphasis on the education and training of the Moroccan and African succession of tomorrow. The partnership with the Belgian Ministry of National Education and the Moroccan Ministry of National Education for the development of Belgian Cooperation Schools in Morocco falls within this framework. Ultimately, the Group aims to develop other school networks.
  • Internationalization is a guarantee of growth and sustainability for AFRICORP CONSORTIUM. The group has become a key player in Africa, in particular with its subsidiary Dolidol, which today has 7 production units in 5 countries, but also, through Africorp Agri, which aims at developing its activities on the continent, similar to the aim of the other business lines

CSR

A corporate citizen committed to noble causes


AFRICORP CONSORTIUM has been involved for many years in the implementation of social actions in favor of vulnerable populations. This commitment is part of the Group’s vocation, enshrined in its values and disseminated among all members of the AFRICORP CONSORTIUM community.

In this context, Dolidol has pursued its societal approach by committing to combating school drop-outs in rural areas. About fifty employees participated in the “Solidarity Climb” program during which they provided supplies and support to the “Dar Talib” boarding school in the village of Tabant. This boarding school, which provides free accommodation and food for 162 students between 12 and 18 years of age, received a donation of 162 mattresses. Prior to this event, a call for donations was initiated involving the 2,400 employees of AFRICORP Industry .

In previous years, Dolidol has also carried out numerous social actions.
  • In 2017, launch of a medical coverage program for the company’s distributors and upholsterers. Dolidol distributes its products throughout Morocco through a network of some 1,000 dealers and upholsterers.
  • In 2016, combating school drop-outs in collaboration with the Sanady Foundation for the benefit of operators’ children. Through this initiative, Dolidol has strengthened its ties with its employees and contributed to supporting education, a cause of national mobilization, by engaging with workers.
  • Also in 2016, the “NoujoumDolidol” program promoted the talents of employees by organizing a convention and producing a hymn and a video clip celebrating Dolidol.
  • In 2015, the company’s 1,400 employees celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Green March at the Dolidol industrial complex.
  • Also, in 2015 Dolidol entered into a partnership with the “Bahri Dima Clean” association, which provided 150 Dolidol employees, accompanied by their children, with the opportunity to clean up Aïn Diab beach. This action was topped off with educational activities to raise awareness about the environment.
  • In 2014, some 34 Dolidol employees raised the company’s flag to the top of Toubkal, the highest summit of Morocco. This action allowed participants to show their solidarity through this challenge.

AFRICORP Mining , the Mines and Quarries division, has also been committed since its creation to the sustainable development of the regions where it operates, by adopting a CSR policy revolving around the protection of the environment, the development of societal commitment: education, sports and social welfare and also by promoting the employment of the local population.
