The main objective of the Kaross Foundation will be to identify, fund and implement projects that will result in a sustainable improvement in the quality of life of both Kaross and Groep 91 Uitvoer’s employees and their communities.
What we believe
We believe that we have a responsibility to be active citizens who play our part in creating a sustainable social and economic future for ourselves and our employees.
We believe in the power of education as a key enabler of both social and economic success.
We believe in the value of partnerships and in investing in relationships that are based on mutual respect.
Mission
The Kaross Foundation and all its partners are proud of both its achievements and future ambitions towards creating a better South Africa for all its people. As active citizens, we acknowledge our responsibility and pledge our commitment towards conducting our business in such a way that it exudes passion, kindness, integrity and professionalism.

It is our belief that participation in competitive sport is one of the most effective ways for personal development apart from the health benefits thereof. That is why the Kaross Foundation aims to develop sport for our employees, and help people achieve these goals and become stronger individuals. We love the JOY that it gives our people.
