Afrox Donations Afrox donations are defined as either sums of money or non-cash benefits that are awarded to organisations without any attached obligations. However, beneficiaries are selected on a set of criteria which is regularly reviewed to reflect our social investment goals.

Afrox' Social Engagement focus areas are governed by priorities identified in line with our core business and the Linde Group.

We select our projects based on the following key criteria:

- Alignment with our core business

- Proximity to our sites

- Focus on Sustainability

- Possibility to actively involve employees

Exclusions
Organisations that do not act within the legal system or are not run on a non-profit basis will not be considered for donations. Furthermore all political organizations, in South Africa or in the African countries which we operate, are excluded.

Awarding donations
As a matter of policy projects that receive donations are identified, selected, awarded and monitored by the Corporate Responsibility Manager at Afrox Head Office in Selby, Johannesburg.

Strategic partners are identified and should none be available on our database a call for proposals will be made on our website.

Budgetary guidelines
Afrox donates 1% of the previous year after-tax earnings however this is subject to change without prior notice.
