Education:
Education is a critical component of the Courts Corporate Social Responsibility programme and the company is dedicated to empowering and giving hope to young Jamaicans through education. COURTS believes that education is the key tool to building a successful nation and to aid in fostering growth and development of the country.
As a commitment to our customers and the education sector, COURTS launched its Customer Scholarship programme in June 2011, which is focused on giving back to its customers by assisting them financially to achieve their educational goals.
The scholarship programme offers cash awards towards customers and/or their children/ward in three categories – GSAT, Tertiary and Skills Training. The scholarship will become available in June annually.
The Courts Customer Scholarship programme replaced the Junior Management Programme (JUMP) and the Manufacturers’ Apprenticeship Development Exercise (MADE), which started in 1986 and 1996 respectively.
To date, Courts have assisted over 1000 students with completing their education having invested some $90 million in scholarships and bursaries.
Sports:
Sports development is an important aspect of COURTS Corporate Social Responsibility initiative and as such the company continues to be a committed sponsor of both the National Football programmes and the National Netball team.
COURTS was one of the very first sponsors to assist the Jamaica National Football Team in carrying out its various activities on the “Road to France” in 1998. The company to date continues to assist the team through sponsorship of millions of dollars in furniture and appliances for the National Teams Players’ Residence located at 102 Shortwood Road, the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) Head Office and recently the JFF Technical Centre located at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus.
Courts also has committed to sponsoring the Jamaica Netball Association furniture and appliances on an annual basis.
Health:
COURTS recognizes that a person’s health is of utmost important and is vital to the continued productivity of a nation. Health care is also an expensive necessity, which many persons unfortunately are unable to afford. COURTS is committed to playing its part in giving back to those in need and those less fortunate who are unable to afford basic health care.
Since 2011, the company has held several health fairs across the island offering the following FREE health services to patrons: HIV test, blood sugar test, blood pressure test, eye testing, heart screening and cholesterol checks.
In 2005 the company made a significant cash donation to the Bustamante Hospital for Children to assist children undergoing heart surgeries.
In the past the company has also enabled the Cancer Society of Jamaica to procure a motor vehicle for its outreach programme to transport its diagnostic equipment island-wide for health screening. The company in association with the Sickle Cell Unit also launched a series of educational videos on Sickle Cell to education the public about the seriousness of the disease.
COURTS has also sponsored patients in need of surgery at the Heart Foundation of Jamaica, and its staff also participated in blood donation at the Blood Bank.
COURTS recognizes the important role that having a healthy society plays in the development of Jamaica’s youths, communities and the nation in general, and as such the company will continue to contribute in any way it can to having a healthy and productive society.
