Old Mutual Malawi Limited has launched its inaugural sustainability report, highlighting its dedication to impactful initiatives that benefit communities across the country.

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.
