firstrand namibia’s
contract with society

The nature, size and scale of FirstRand Namibia’s business activities result in a broad set of financial and social outcomes:

  • provider of credit;
  • custodian of the country’s savings;
  • provider of transactional platforms for people to access and spend their funds;
  • material taxpayer; and
  • large employer.

Given this position, FirstRand Namibia recognises that it has a responsibility to deliver both financial value and positive social outcomes to multiple stakeholders.

As a subsidiary of FirstRand Limited, the business is working to embed the principles of shared value into strategy and operations.

These principles underpin FirstRand Namibia’s view that it must intentionally use core business activities, including its role in allocating capital to the economy, to add value to society – profitably and at scale.

FirstRand Namibia’s total impact on society ranges from its FirstRand Namibia Foundation Trust corporate social investment spend to how it manages its operations and, most importantly, how it deploys its balance sheet and core business activities.
