What is electricity wheeling? It involves the buying and selling of electricity through an existing grid. Our home office in Brackenfell is now wheeling renewable electricity, marking us one of the first businesses to wheel renewable power through the City of Cape Town’s energy grid. “In 2023, our consumption of renewable energy nearly doubled to 103,234 MWh from 54,138 MWh in the previous year. With renewable electrons now flowing through Cape Town’s energy grid, we are another step closer to our climate goals of being carbon neutral by 2050,” says Sanjeev Raghubir, Chief Sustainability Officer at the Shoprite Group.     Read more: https://lnkd.in/drnWQGTe #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EnergyInnovation #ShopriteGroup #Wheeling Enpower Trading

Eastern Highlands, our private-label bottled water, plays an important role in our ongoing commitment to finding sustainable solutions for clean water access. A percentage of the proceeds from every purchase of 500ml and 1.5L Eastern Highlands bottled water sold at all Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets nationwide will go to the newly established Act for Change Water Fund. One of the Fund’s first projects will be to sink a borehole at a school in Verulam, providing the community at large with access to clean drinking water.

Today, we're proud to share a glimpse of the Shoprite Foundation’s recent Mandela Day celebrations at Mveledzandivho Primary School in Soweto. As part of our Foundation’s commitment to fostering future-fit education, 1 200 learners were introduced to virtual reality technology for the first time. We also installed a water tank to ensure learners have access to clean water, and provided essential items including winter beanies and sanitary pads. This initiative exemplifies the Shoprite Foundation’s dedication to creating teaching environments that are conducive to successful learning, and preparing young minds for the digital age.

Shoprite Group employees across the nation dedicated their time and energy to various community initiatives, embodying the essence of Mandela Day not just for 67 minutes on 18 July, but throughout the entire month.

We're immensely proud of our team's dedication to spreading hope and making a tangible difference in the communities we serve. Together, we're building a culture of compassion and service that extends far beyond Mandela Month. #WorkThatMatters #LetsActForChange #MandelaDay

At the Shoprite Group, we believe in nurturing the potential of our youth and fostering a spirit of community service. This Mandela Day, we're proud to support VUSA Rugby and Learning Academy in their community clean-up project by providing essential cleaning supplies and deploying our Mobile Soup Kitchen to serve the young volunteers a warm meal after their hard work.   This initiative not only uplifts our communities but also instils valuable lessons in environmental stewardship and social responsibility in our future leaders. Swipe through to witness the transformative power of youth in action. #MandelaDay #LetsActForChange #WorkThatMatters #Youth

This Mandela Day, we're proud to have Taking Care of Business at our home office. The NPO equips unemployed individuals with valuable repair skills, that helps turn preloved and faulty appliances into opportunities.  Our employees have mobilised to donate used or broken appliances directly contributing to TCBs skills development and job creation efforts. #LetsActForChange #MandelaDay #WorkThatMatters

This Mandela Day, we are encouraging Checkers Sixty60 customers to support non-profit Meals on Wheels by donating non-perishable food items through the Sixty60 app to any one of five designated collection points. Checkers Sixty60 will match the value of all donations made between 15-18 July and refund all delivery fees. Through the generous support of customers, we were able to donate more than R830 000 worth of groceries to Meals on Wheels SA in 2023, and the challenge is on to exceed last year’s contribution.  Donations can be made from anywhere in South Africa.  #LetsActForChange #MandelaDay  #ShopriteGroup #CheckersSixty60 #MealsOnWheels #WorkThatMatters
