Old Mutual Malawi Limited has launched its inaugural sustainability report, highlighting its dedication to impactful initiatives that benefit communities across the country.
The report’s unveiling ceremony was held in Lilongwe and brought together several key stakeholders.
In an interview with MIJ Online, Vera Zulu, Group Chief Finance Officer at Old Mutual Malawi, stressed on the importance of transparency in showcasing the company’s initiatives that are making a difference in communities.
“This report showcases some of the initiatives that Old Mutual does, that are impacting the communities, so maybe other people did not know things that we are doing, so it will help to make more transparent some of the initiatives that we are doing in the sustainability space,” she said.
Zulu also highlighted Old Mutual’s commitment to partnering with companies and investors to achieve the country’s development goals, as outlined in the Malawi 2063 blueprint.
The company has been actively involved in various initiatives, including financial literacy programs, infrastructure development in primary schools and climate change mitigation efforts.
Meanwhile National Planning Commission Director General, Fredrick Changaya has commended Old Mutual Malawi for taking the lead in sustainability initiatives, which are often regarded as the domain of government and development partners.
He noted that the report aligns well with the Malawi 2063 agenda, encompassing issues of resilience and inclusive growth.
