Across the Ascent Group, challenges are met cohesively and people work as much for themselves as they do for their company. As a result, employees maintain high spirits and are well motivated.
Dynamism
employing a progressive outlook that embraces change and innovates constantly. All the companies in the Ascent Group remain responsive to the times and the needs of consumers, always ready, always greatly flexible on issues of scale and consumer preference.
Transparency
ensuring transparency and honesty in all transactions. The Ascent Group is sensitive to the needs of the country and the community in which it works. The Ascent way of living entails a sense of social responsibility and giving back to the community.
CSR
The Chairperson of the Group, Mrs. Yasmeen Murshed, has long been considered a leading social entrepreneur of the country.
Therefore, the Group’s commitment to the community and its efforts at developing civil society are deep.
Throughout the years, various community development programs, fundraising drives for charities, and social work with underprivileged communities have been carried out.
It practices this philosophy by not only driving each of its businesses towards competitiveness, but by also consciously enhancing the competitiveness of the larger value-chains of which it is a part.
The Group believes in involving all stakeholders when carrying out these programs. It is committed to building awareness of the challenges we face as a nation and in setting an example for the success that can be achieved through hard work and good governance by a Bangladeshi firm.
The Group recently established the Ascent Education Development Trust to further its CSR programs. The concept of an educational Trust was initially proposed by a group of prominent individuals of Bangladesh, led by Scholastica, who felt the need to help meritorious and economically disadvantaged students through the creation of improved access to quality education.
Based on this concept, Mrs. Yasmeen Murshed, invited them to join her in setting up a charitable Trust. Newly formed, this Trust is just beginning its operations.
