Corporate Social Responsibility Protect and Serve MDS is proud to have played an instrumental role in supporting initiatives to combat the effects of the virus and protect key personnel in vulnerable spaces. Our donations of personal protective equipment (PPE), and sanitisation support to various national entities sought to address the most critical needs brought on by the pandemic. Of those activities that were undertaken, one that is of particular note was our first ‘sanitisation invasion’ of a renowned public facility, the Half-Way Tree Transportation Centre, specially selected for being a very central point with high volume pedestrian traffic passing through its location daily. The January 2021 activation was sponsored by lead product Disiclin, a disinfectant cleaner dubbed as a ‘triple threat’ because of its performance of three essential actions – cleaning, deodorising and disinfecting. Over 20 members of the Disiclin cleaning squad worked earnestly in targeting high-touch and communal areas such as railings, posts, doorknobs, bathrooms, seating and stairwells.
Getting Back on Track On March 19 and 20, the Anthrick Management Corporate High Schools Development Meet was the first track and field organisation to be included in the JAAA calendar of events for which GOJ approval was secured to allow for athletes to qualify for Boys and Girls Championships. With intense Covid protocol compliance being a part of the basis for approval,
mandatory wearing of face masks and instalment of multiple sanitisation stations and frequent decontamination efforts pre and post event were additional cost factors for the event holders to manoeuvre. With such an event being so significant to school children and, in some cases, a vehicle through which some student-athletes’ college prospects were hinged, we were more compelled to offer support this year through cash and kind contributions, with the latter including masks, rubbing alcohol and sanitising gel.
