Our Commitment to Resilience
As one of the biggest internationally active insurance groups in the world, Sanlam plays an important role helping people realise their financial goals over their lifetime and achieve financial prosperity.
We recognise the need for Sanlam to contribute to financial resilience and prosperity in all the markets where we are present. Resilience generally describes the capacity of a system, be it an individual, an organisation, the environment or an economy, to absorb internal and external shocks, and deal with change while continuing to flourish.
At Sanlam, resilience is about protecting our stakeholders against the potential negative financial consequences of unexpected events. We create financial prosperity through enhancing people’s ability to maintain financial independence beyond their income-generating capability.
We also contribute to financial resilience by building the capacity of systems, organisations, environments and the economy to absorb the potential negative financial consequences of internal or external shocks.
We contribute to financial resilience and prosperity by delivering client-centric financial solutions through our five business clusters, which are supported by the Group Office. Read more about the clusters’ resilience focus areas and initiatives in the Sanlam Group and Cluster 2019 Resilience Reports. Each cluster identified those matters that are most material for them to ensure resilience. These are reviewed annually, adjusted according to changes in their operating environments and measured through key performance indicators.
