Our Commitments

Andgo’s Social Responsibility Plan outlines our commitments to the community and the environment. We apply a "learning-by-doing" approach where we deepen our knowledge and impact through experience. Our commitments are focused on fostering healthy communities and supporting environmental initiatives.

Andgo takes to social media

Like the rest of the world, Andgo found itself supporting a stream of causes through social media.

Posting is not enough

We recognized that being reactive to these causes and posting about them on social media only scratched the surface of making meaningful change.
