Corporate Social Responsibility

As a body corporate and a responsible member of society the FMA recognizes the need to give back to the industry and to the society as a whole.  The FMA External Committee recognizes the importance of a good education and the impact it makes on the lives of children and society in general.  To this end, it is of paramount importance for children to have a learning environment that is conducive and favourable to study and play.

The External Committee created a CSR Sub – Committee, made up of one staff member from each firm to determine how best to contribute to the education environment in Kenya.  This CSR Sub – Committee set about finding a school where the FMA’s contribution could make the most impact.  The CSR Sub – Committee met and all members were tasked with searching for a school in dire need of structural improvements. The sub – committee members were expected to share pictures of their scouting results after which the team would make decision on the most deserving situation. The Sub – Committee then met regularly to determine the level of financial input from the FMA and supervised the renovation works as they progressed, to enhance accountability. In addition, the CSR team collected donations from their respective colleagues, which were spent mainly on funding the meal during the main activity day. The Sub – Committee updated the FMA Council on the CSR activities during their quarterly meetings.
