Sol Celebrates an Amazing Representation of Diversity and Inclusion, Black History Month

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Sol is proud to embrace the cultural tapestry and diversity of the Caribbean – a region which we are proud to call our home. We are convinced, as an organization, that there is more that unites us than that which separates us.

For the entire month of February, Sol has celebrated Black History Month with our employees through a range of initiatives, including online webcasts, weekly bulletins, roundtable discussions and virtual competitions – all centered around Black history and culture. We have provided our team with opportunities to listen, discuss, share and learn from each other and we have challenged ourselves to come up with fresh ideas and new perspectives to help ensure that we maintain our focus and our commitment to diversity and inclusion. While we have taken the opportunity to celebrate Black History Month with the rest of the world, we believe that our team members should benefit from our commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout the year.

We are diverse. We are inclusive. We are Sol[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15891″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

As we focus on maintaining a continued, healthy work environment, we have taken extensive preventative measures to protect our staff and their families from exposure to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), to ensure that we continue to provide our products and services safely to our customers.
Our team members have been provided with the relevant information from public health organisations such as, the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organisation, and other local and external government agencies. They have been urged to protect themselves by exercising good hygiene practices at work and home while we have increased sanitisation practices in our offices, depots, locations with direct customer contact, and our truck fleet. We have also implemented an employee ‘air travel ban’; facilitated a home-based work structure where appropriate, introduced mandatory self-isolation where appropriate, and implemented protocols for employees who are unwell or may be at increased risk. Additionally, we have provided guidance on increased sanitation practices in high-touch areas such as the fuel pumps nozzles, payment keypads, door handles and counters.
We take our corporate responsibility seriously and are mindful of the vital role of our products and services in the communities in which we operate. We will continue to monitor this situation closely, maintain and promote preventative measures, and work closely with our suppliers, customers and official authorities to ensure that we continue to supply and serve our customers. We also encourage our teams, our customers and stakeholders to join together in this time to support and be empathetic toward one another.

Sol Sponsored both a Rugby and Soccer Clinic

Sol sponsored both a Rugby and Soccer clinic – held in Guadeloupe and Martinique last month. These two events provided the opportunity for more than 120 children to participate in a one-week internship of their favorite sport. The teenagers were exposed to values such as integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline, respect…. and they burnt thousands of calories. They were delighted and amazed to be among former international soccer and rugby players. They truly benefited from their respective experiences and we were glad to provide this opportunity for our young people to excel!
Here’s one of the testimonials we received from a parent who was deeply thankful for Sol’s support.
“Without Sol, this course of excellence would not have occurred….I prayed that my son would be retained as we do not go on vacation and I knew that for one week he would accomplish one of his dreams ….thank you”.
