Corporate responsibility
We are committed to operating in a responsible manner, making decisions that take into account the impact of our business on those around us. The Old Mutual Foundation serves as the company’s primary vehicle to deliver on its economic and social transformation vision for Namibia.For decades we have played a key role in the Namibian community through the provision of financial services and our involvement in community and empowerment projects. Social and economic transformation is integral parts of our strategy. We have put great effort into bridging the income distribution divide. We do so as part of a collective effort between government and the private sector.
We have successfully continued our BEE partnerships with community organisations with the aim of empowering previously disadvantaged sectors of our society. We have worked alongside others to deliver special vehicles such as the NedNamibia Education Trust.
