Business With a Responsibility to Ethiopia

Corporate Social Responsibility

At WA Investment Group, our business growth is tied to our social commitment. Through every company and project, we seek to create meaningful economic value — not just for shareholders, but for the communities we serve.

1. Job Creation

We employ over 1,000 people across our companies, with a target to exceed 3,000. We prioritize local hiring, skill development, and long-term employment.

2. Local Sourcing & Industrial Self-Reliance

Our factories reduce import dependency by sourcing local crops, minerals, and raw materials keeping more economic value within Ethiopia.

3. Affordable Essentials

By supplying essential goods (oil, water, fuel) at stable prices, we support household affordability and economic resilience.

4. Environmental Responsibility

• Responsible farming practices and land use
• Waste reduction and by-product recycling (e.g., oil cake for animal feed)
• Long-term sustainability in quarrying and water use

5. Community Engagement
