Abstract:
|
The case discusses the 'Access to Electricity' programs initiated by ABB as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility Activities in a few less developed parts of the world. The program was begun at Ngarambe, a village situated near the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania.
Here, the program was able to bring electricity to Ngarambe and besides, the electrification project helped in the economic and social development of the village while taking care of environmental concerns. ABB used the 'Access to Electricity' project as a learning experience and committed itself to undertaking more such corporate social responsibility activities with the long term aim of generating stable revenues.
