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.
