Chas E Ramson Ltd partners with Project STAR to support community transformation
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Chas E Ramson Limited has partnered with Project STAR (Social Transformation and Renewal) — a national initiative dedicated to strengthening social cohesion, safety, and opportunity in underserved Jamaican communities — with a two-year, $4 million commitment.
For Chas E Ramson Limited, this partnership represents more than corporate sponsorship — it reflects a deep belief that business and community are inseparable, the company said in a release.
“Our roots in Jamaica tie us not only to commerce, but to the people,” said Phillip Ramson, Chas E Ramson Limited’s managing director.
“We share a responsibility to contribute meaningfully to our nation’s development.”
With over a century of service to Jamaica, Chas E Ramson Limited has grown from humble beginnings into one of the island’s leading distributors of premium products, the company noted.
Now in its fourth generation of family leadership, the company continues a proud tradition of national service through business, civic engagement, and philanthropy.
By supporting Project STAR, the company said it is turning its commitment to social progress into direct, measurable action. “Project STAR’s community-driven model — which empowers local residents to lead their own transformation — aligns closely with Ramson’s own values of inclusion, integrity, and nation-building,” it said.
“This partnership marks another chapter in Chas E Ramson Limited’s ongoing commitment to Jamaica’s growth and renewal. It underscores a guiding principle that has defined the company for more than 100 years: success is shared — and must be reinvested in the communities that make it possible.”
