A global e-commerce and direct selling firm, QNET Ltd., says it is taking advantage of technology and innovation to train 6,000 young Nigerians with financial management skills.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Malou Caluza, said in a statement on Wednesday in Lagos.
Caluza said that the company plans to empower people to take control of their financial futures, to be their own bosses, and create a healthy work-life balance.
He also said that part of QNET strategies is building a sustainable future by making a positive impact in the lives of its people, especial with its host communities.
The CEO said that in Nigeria, QNET has launched its signature programme for financial literacy, known as FINGREEN.
According to him, this aims to develop healthy financial habits through education and training to promote sustainable community development.
“QNET’s aim with FINGREEN is to train 6,000 young people in Nigeria with financial management skills.
“This approach is to intensify the financial inclusion of more youth in Nigeria, as this would help expunge financial illiteracy in the country.
” QNET realises that the only way to bring about poverty alleviation in Nigeria is by training the masses on mindsets, employability and entrepreneurial skills, and financial literacy to better position individuals to achieve financial freedom in the country.
“QNET believes that building strong communities means leveraging technology and innovation to put sustainability at the core of its operations, from when a product is developed to when it is delivered to the customer,” he added.
Caluza said that the company developed its products with a purpose-led strategy to minimise waste and promote efficient use of resources.
“QNET has also started the process of replacing its product packaging with sustainable materials such as recyclable sleeves and boxes.
“Initiatives such as these mean that QNETs IRs and customers can be confident that when they sell or purchase any of QNETs quality products, they are helping to reduce waste, conserve resources, and contribute to a more sustainable world.
“We understand that our efforts to build strong and resilient communities today cannot succeed unless we leave a better, cleaner, healthier planet to future generations.
“The direct selling industry is vital in addressing the threat of climate change and other environmental issues,” the CEO said.
He said that COVID-19 pandemic was a global disaster that caused loss and suffering for millions of people.
“It’s also forced us to use innovation and technology to accelerate digital transformation, strengthen our connections, build new economies, and protect our communities.
“As the world recovers from the pandemic, QNET is leading the post-COVID world to a stronger and more resilient future.
” It is building on its history of technological innovation to transform communities, conserve their natural resources, protect their livelihoods, and improve the quality of life for millions of people, “Cazula said.
The CEO said that the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations released its 2020/2021 annual report, in which the chairman Roger Barnett calls on direct selling companies to reimagine, reinvent, and redefine the role and contribution of our industry for the next decade.
He said that QNET is ready to meet this challenge, adding that as millions around the world rebuild their livelihoods and economies after the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said that QNET believes that the direct selling industry stands in a unique position to help communities not only recover from the damage of the past two years, but to build a stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable post-COVID economy for us all.
He said that QNET has established a solid reputation as a digital pioneer.
The CEO said that QNETs digital transformation enabled its entrepreneurs to thrive when many traditional retailers shut their doors.
“The company is a leading developer of online tools like its award-winningmobile app,which empowers its global community of entrepreneurs to run their businesses from anywhere, at any time.
“As the pandemic forced millions to avoid person-to-person contact and go online to purchase the goods they needed.
“QNET embraced innovative technologies such as social and video commerce, enabling its independent representatives to continue providing their customers with the quality products they desired while maintaining the personalised service the direct selling model is well known for.
“QNET provides its representatives with the latesttools, training, education, and supportto help leverage their online presence, connect with more potential customers, and grow their businesses,” he said.
