I am very excited about our new joint venture, as it combines Sanlam and Allianz’s wealth of expertise and resources to all stakeholders through greater economies of scale, shared knowledge and technical capabilities, a broader geographical presence, larger combined market share, and a more diversified product offering.
Our ambition is to be among the top three players in all our markets as we strive towards being a truly pan-African champion. To achieve this, we follow a shared value approach with our staff, clients, business partners and shareholders, as well as the markets, communities and countries we do business in.
We have four key pillars that underpin our ambition:
-
Markets and customers – Being a leader in life and general insurance on the African continent, we are increasing our clients’ access to our products and services in innovative, client-centric ways.
-
Economic and social impact – Through embracing environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles, we aim to demonstrate good corporate citizenship and have a positive impact on our local economies in a positive way.
-
Financial – Consistent delivery on our key financial metrics ensure that we provide economic value to our shareholders.
- Our people – Empowering our people through a high-performance, engaging culture ensures that we attract, build and retain a skilled and confident talent pool that drives the success of our business.
Being part of an international, market-leading company enables us to collaborate, share knowledge and innovate on a large scale to develop best-in-class solutions that benefit all our stakeholders.
