Introduction

With the many developmental and social upliftment issues facing South Africa, Oxford University Press Southern Africa’s social responsibility policy operates in such a way that it adds value, is sustainable and has clear developmental outcomes.

As an educational publisher committed to the growth of South Africa and its people, our strategy aims to support individuals and communities to better their lives, through the provision of educational material, support and skills initiatives.

Policy

Our aim is to support:

• sustained educational development initiatives in the field of literacy, indigenous languages, Maths and Science;
• financial scholarships to assist black students with special focus on black women, to access and finish their studies;
• involving our staff in one big campaign a year to inculcate a culture of sharing and giving; and
• sustained initiatives in the fields of welfare, health and the environment.
