Previously, all Social Corporate Investments were co-ordinated by Bidvest, however with the decentralization of activities Corporate Social Investment has become the responsibility of Prestige.

Prestige is involved in the following Corporate Social Investments:

HIV Clinic

The company currently sponsors cleaning of an HIV clinic in Thembisa. They go in once a week and clean up the place and perform on-going training to their cleaners. They also sponsor food to the clinic. They donated an urn, cups and utensils and buy coffee, tea, milk, bread and jam on a weekly basis to ensure the patients standing in queues have some nourishment.

Once training of the cleaners has been completed, Prestige will search for another aids clinic to offer similar services.

This project is significant because HIV and AIDS is a pandemic that has directly affected most South Africans.

The company is a driving force behind Project Promote, which is a project to distribute condoms on a national basis. Great success has been achieved, in partnership with the Department of Health and the South African Business Coalition against HIV and Aids.

Shave-a-thon

Shave-a-thon is a charity event in support of Cancer sufferers. This year, Shave-a-thon has been working alongside sporting events like the Comrades, the Argus etc. Prestige supplies the cleaners and gets involved in the hype of it all. This event is special in that the cleaners get the opportunity to give something back as they get to participate in shaving or colouring their hair as well.

This project is significant because of its reality to everybody and because it affects HIV positive patients as well.
