LESCO Manufacturing and Switch King are passionate about developing a sustainable organisation that supports local talent and infrastructure. In doing so, we have been able to meet a number of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As we continue to strive toward transforming the world for the better, we will update our progress of new goals, here.

By employing semi-skilled, semi- disable, disabled, youth and women, we are in support of reducing the proportion of men, women and children of all ages who are vulnerable or living in poverty. 
We are actively supporting the equality of women and female youth by ensuring our workforce is comprised of 50% and more of this demographic. We have also partnered with Afrika Tikkun to take on learnerships that focus on developing their skills. As a result, we have had a number of women of colour who have been offered full-time employment. 
LESCO promotes and empowers the social and economic inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status. We ensure equal opportunity through our employment efforts directed at minority groups such as women, youth, disabled, semi-disabled and semi-skilled. We have adopted policies, wage and social protection policies to achieve greater equality. We are SMETA accredited, which means we report on Sedex's four pillars of Labour, Health and Safety, Environment and Business Ethics to maintain an ethical business. |
Through our employment efforts, we are increasing the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship. 
We are proud to focus our employment efforts on providing decent work and equal pay for women and men, including youth and people with disabilities. Through our partnership with Afrika Tikkun, we are addressing the unemployment crisis in SA by way of economic empowerment and sustainable job creation. We do this by incorporating different learnership programmes into our business. |
