As a leading environmental organization, SCNL has always strived to operate with the utmost integrity, and this honor further highlights the dedication the organization has toward fulfilling its responsibilities, not just in conservation, but in contributing to the nation’s growth.
A Commitment to Nation Building
For SCNL, paying taxes goes beyond fulfilling a legal obligation—it’s an essential part of our mission to contribute to the development of Liberia. By adhering to tax regulations and ensuring full compliance, we play a role in strengthening the country’s infrastructure, supporting public services, and enhancing the overall well-being of its citizens.
As a local non-governmental organization (NGO), SCNL sets an example for other organizations in Liberia and across the region, demonstrating that social responsibility and commitment to national development go hand in hand with environmental preservation and conservation work.
Transparency and Accountability at the Core
The award emphasizes the importance of transparency in financial management and accountability. By maintaining clear and honest records, SCNL ensures that every donation and funding received is used effectively for the benefit of Liberia’s natural resources and communities. This recognition is a reminder of the organization’s dedication to doing business the right way.
Looking Ahead
This recognition by the Liberia Revenue Authority further reinforces SCNL’s commitment to playing an active role in Liberia’s development. Moving forward, SCNL aims to continue building strong partnerships with government agencies, NGOs, and the local community, while staying true to its core values of sustainability, integrity, and community service.
