Our vision at CiGroup is to create, enable and foster meaningful communities and communications. As our business activity grows, we remain inspired by the precepts of social justice, solidarity, social inclusion, and respect for human dignity. We also are inspired by the fact that we’re European and while retaining a local perspective, we have a global outlook on happenings and events.

We often tend the aspect which is strictly linked to our life whether personal, companies or organisations. This is why the Group has also committed part of its efforts towards supporting the creation of opportunities for a section of the Maltese society to empower some of the more vulnerable people who might be subjected to social exclusion and risk of poverty, including the children, youth and the elderly, enabling them to realise their aspirations and full human potential.
