As a company with strong South African roots, STANLIB is passionate about contributing to the communities in which we operate. Improving the lives of people, across the board is at the heart of our Corporate Social Investment. STANLIB and our employees possess a diversity of skills and resources that we believe could have long-term, positive benefits for the community.
South Africa’s skills shortage is well documented and perhaps the best way to harness this country’s potential is through education. We believe that the responsibility of galvanizing education is not just a responsibility for government; it’s a goal that we all need to work towards.
At STANLIB we have a number of projects that we support and initiatives we have developed, all of which have ‘empowerment through education’ at its heart.
There are a range of existing and new initiatives that STANLIB has committed to; our goal is to ‘help make South Africa even greater’, one community at a time. By investing our resources in education, we feel that we can fast track development and help disadvantaged families escape the poverty trap; we want to make a difference as a company and as individuals.
In keeping with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) code of practice, STANLIB is committed to spending up to 1% of our net profit after tax. It is not only though this funding that we contribute; we also offer our time and support our staff in their own initiatives.
