INTRODUCTION ABOUT US MANAGEMENT APPROACH
SOCIAL CAPITAL
Focus on sports
Sports is the embodiment of the values that we have at heart at UBP, namely integrity, teamwork and perseverance. Our support went to initiatives that not only provided Mauritians with a fun and challenging way to exercise, but also promoted the discovery of the natural beauty of our island. In line with this objective, we sponsored the Dodo Trail, the ‘IBL on the Move’ event, as well as the Mauritius 100km Cycle Tour.
We also renewed our support to local clubs, wherein we sponsored the participation of the Beach Raptors Football Club in the New Generation Football League. Likewise, sponsor trophies were awarded to the Golden Stars Football Club of Curepipe, on the occasion of their 25th anniversary.
To ensure the promotion of inclusive sports and practice, we also extended our support to Mr Rosario Marianne to enable him to participate in a handisport competition for individuals.
From the Rodrigues Trail to international competition:
It is always a proud moment to see how our support allows new talents to emerge and shine locally and internationally. Through our entity, Welcome Industries Ltd in Rodrigues, we provided air tickets to the top two Rodriguan Trail athletes and supported their participation in Mauritian Trail competitions. Their outstanding performance in the local Trails allowed them to qualify for a major Trail competition at international level. We are looking forward to maintaining our support to these two remarkable athletes and sponsoring their international experience at the Trail World Championship in Thailand in November 2022.
We are also pleased to share that two Rodriguans, namely Liraud Flore and Anne Marie John, have made the cut to form part of the five athletes selected for the National Team. It is to be highlighted as well that both trailers came 1st in the recent UBP/ Welcome Trail Championship 2022.
