AFRICA
The company has realised its vision by providing education opportunities to local communities ; it has entered into an agreement with the Egyptian Ministry for Education to fund the construction of a secondary school in Balouza village in the North Sinai Governorate .
SCCT is also keen to invest in the prosperity of future generations , creating roughly a hundred opportunities to become a through its partnership with the Port Training Institute at the Arab Academy for Science , Technology , and Maritime Transport ( AASTMT ). Laursen commented : “ We wanted to help the local the community to provide for themselves ; we provided them with fair pay and training , and even provided those that excelled with a job once the apprenticeship expired .”
Reducing its environmental impact has also been a top priority for SCCT . So far it has worked to recycle energy used in its cranes and use solar powered cells to heat much of the water used on site . Interestingly , the company is also exploring greening the surrounding desert to benefit the wider community .
The work of SCCT over the past decade has shown that continuous growth does not simply benefit the local community financially , but also instils skills and attitudes for life . This company ’ s critical position between three vast economic territories , alongside the diligent management of Klaus Holm Laursen and his team , will ensure that this model of shared success will continue for some considerable time .
