Our approach to social responsibility

At Santam, we are dedicated to building a safer and more resilient South Africa. We work with vulnerable communities supporting social resilience through risk awareness and management, skills development, and equipment. For us, corporate social investment (CSI) does not happen in isolation from the rest of our business, it is part of our greater ambition to positively impact the economy, adding to a well-functioning, sustainable society. Shared value occurs through programmes that provide business and societal value simultaneously. To create long-term shareholder value, Santam’s CSI and business strategies are aligned.

Partnership for risk and resilience (P4RR)

The programme aimed at building societal resilience through collaboration and partnerships with all spheres of government, state owned entities, research and academic institutions, community-based organisations, private sector agencies to co-create initiatives.
