Donations to farmers Associations
The Senwes Group implemented the Senwes Group Loyalty Bonus Scheme (“the Scheme”) known as AgriRewards with the aim to create and sustain long-term relationships with the Senwes Group Customers by rewarding them regularly for the business with the Group, thereby enhancing the customer relationship.
Senwes as a role-player in the agricultural sector with a presence and nearly 300 business units throughout South Africa and Europe is inundated with request for donations.
Unfortunately, it is not financially possible to comply with these requests. Accordingly, Senwes launched AgriRewards Plus (+) to assist the communities by using the Farmers Associations as a conduit to support and assist with the upliftment of local communities (for purposes of education, sport, care for the elderly, security etc.), and/or the establishment and improvement of critical infrastructure. The Farmers Associations are best suited to understand and grasp the challenges that their local communities are facing.
AgriRewards Plus is therefore the conduit for donations and with the assistance of the Farmers Associations provides a structured manner for the distribution of these donations.
