CORPORATE IDENTITY

3R stands for planting the right seeds for a partnership based on mutual interests, growing it into stronger ties and developing deep roots so that it can finally bear fruits.

3R’s logo incorporates this image by using the seeds and the fruits of the camel thorn tree.

3R Consult – like the camel thorn tree – will:
• adapt to extreme “climate changes”
• provide “shade”
• protect itself through “thorns” – if necessary
• develop density and build up robustness as it grows
• produce natural solutions
• help through survival, and last but not least
• bear fruits, each one with a similar, yet individual form and    shape.

CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENTS

Mary Ann Evans alias George Eliot, an English novelist (1819-1880) believed that “The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.” George Eliot (1874). Eliot was a humanist and sought a view of life that would result in a meaningful and ethical direction within a materialistic society. Translated into the business context, 3R believes in the power of human choice in order to achieve growth.

The company is committed to corporate social responsibility in the following ways:
• Its business model: Many South African Entrepreneurs have an    immense demand for professional consulting services, but in a    lot of cases, cannot afford to pay for them. 3R plans to bridge    this gap by establishing a network nationally    and internationally.
• A mentoring program: 3R Consult is involved in the TSiBA    mentoring program, where students from previously    disadvantaged communities study towards a Bachelor of    Business Administration degree.
