Investing in our people The backbone of Aspen Global’s business, and one of the reasons for its success, is the talented pool of people comprising more than 150 staff members across nine departments.

Most of these employees have been trained and developed to take on senior positions.

Committed to CSR For the past three years Aspen Global has participated in the Aspen Group’s initiative to embrace and support Nelson Mandela International Day across its business units on six continents. In 2015 we will once again make a difference in the lives of less fortunate communities when we participate in the campaign. This annual event is particularly rewarding to beneficiaries and employees alike as our staff become actively involved in the event and personally reach out to those in need. In addition, Aspen Global annually contributes to a number of corporate social responsibility activities in Mauritius and is a proud supporter of a number of NGOs. In 2014 Aspen sponsored more than seven projects in which cash was donated and staff participated in activities to provide improvements to communities in need.
