OUR VALUE TO SOCIETY
PIECING THE PUZZLE TOGETHER
2020 has been a year unlike any we could have imagined. The successive battles of Covid-19, the resulting economic contraction, job losses and many more factors remind us of the challenges we face as a society.
Businesses around the world realise we have a much larger role to play in helping to solve some of these challenges, now more than ever before. Remaining relevant and committed to our customers, partners, employees, and shareholders is critical, but we have an opportunity and a responsibility to do more.

NSSF commitment to a sustainable future through value creation in the long term
As I reflect on the progress we made during the last financial year 2020, I have never been more certain that what is good for people, society, and the planet is good for our business. It’s clear that our world is more connected, and interconnected, than ever before, and that trend is growing, with an estimated 500 billion devices and things projected to be connected to the Internet by 2030.

While we are delivering innovation to our customers, and focusing on growth, it is imperative for us to consider how all that we do makes an impact on the communities around us. At NSSF, that concern sits at the heart of our focus on Corporate Social Responsibility, and it is core to who we are. From our culture of integrity and inclusion, our strategic investments in education, health, youth, how we manage our supply chain, to how we operate in support of environmental sustainability, our CSR and business strategies are tightly integrated.
Our customers expect this from us, because they want to do business with an institution they believe is socially and environmentally responsible. We are committed to meeting their expectations, and we hold ourselves accountable by continuing to report our progress toward the sustainable development goals.
In the pages ahead, you will learn about the impact we are making, and the programmes we are driving to make lives better, not only for our members, but the communities within which we operate.
