Greenco becomes #1 employer
Like every year during the harvest, our CWS are running at full capacity. This means that during the following months we are employing more than 1,800 people, making us the first private employer in Ngozi and Kayanza provinces, where we are present. In addition to the quantitative aspect, of which we are very proud, we would also like to highlight the qualitative side of employment, which is what worries us most. Indeed, our employees are obviously paid punctually on a monthly basis, they also have medical coverage in the CWS, they enjoy rest days during the week and of course they are paid the overtime they´ve earned. All this may sound obvious in the developed world, but in the hills of Burundi, where more than half the population is unemployed and working conditions are generally poor, it is a small revolution. Success is all about relationships and for us there is no other way of working and succeeding together.
