We give back as we work...
Businesses exist to delight customers, create employment, generate profit, and pay taxes. However, they only thrive when they give back to the people, communities and planet that support them.
Many businesses owners start giving only when they feel they can afford to. We believe that businesses should give back in proportion to their earnings, from day 1.
Jon Day & Heleen van de Weerd
Cerebrus Associates has set a target to donate at least 10% of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) each year and every year since its incorporation. This target is met through a combination cash donations, pro bono work, and other in-kind contributions.
