Zviera: Upholding Sustainability and Environmental Ethics
Project Zviera, named after the Shona word “zviera,” which refers to taboos in Shona and forbids certain actions to maintain moral conduct, was launched by CaphEris in 2023. This initiative underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship and community development. As part of our broader sustainability strategy, Project Zviera aims to create lasting positive impacts on both the environment and the communities where we operate.
