The Quest To Give Back Knowledge To Communities

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is largely about companies playing their part in contributing towards the development of society through supporting worthy causes. And so, as part of their recent 10-year anniversary celebrations, leading local research and consultancy firm I-Six Logistics Training & Research Consultants Botswana put CSR initiatives at the center of commemorating their milestone by giving back knowledge to communities through a variety of workshops.

The company’s CSR programming is centered on giving back knowledge through hosting seminars in critical areas such as business strategy to aid capacity building for businesses under the banner “Growing Together – Giving back to the Community.”

A home-grown company, I-Six Logistics Training & Research Consultants Botswana was founded in May 2010 and today, specialises in Research, Training and Human Capital Development for both management and technical skills.

“We recently celebrated 10 significant years in business, and this milestone means a lot to us as a company dedicated to providing knowledge-sharing opportunities in communities not only in Botswana, but beyond our nation’s borders,” stated the company’s Managing Director Tlhaloganyo Kaisara.

“We are a research and knowledge-based business, dedicated to giving back to communities through our line-up of services, leveraging our experience in training Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and civil society on research, evaluation and monitoring. Our 10 years of success reflects in the work we do within our communities,” he said.

Though the company carries the title “logistics” as part of its name, they do not provide logistical services such as the movement of goods, but their mandate is rather about helping cultivate performance-oriented organisations by aiding clients with identifying efficiencies that facilitate sustainable growth.

In celebrating having reached a decade in business. I-Six Logistics Training & Research Consultants Botswana acknowledges that its success is credited to buoyancy derived from its pro-bono initiatives.
