5 A note from the Nedbank Foundation

At Nedbank we understand that we cannot be a thriving business in a failing society. We therefore believe that the success of an organisation is inseparable from the wellbeing of its people and community. As a result we continuously invest in long-term, sustainable initiatives that build healthy and progressive communities through the Nedbank Foundation, which was established in 1992 as the primary corporate social investment arm of Nedbank Group.

Nedbank Foundation plays a huge role in enabling the group to achieve its Deep Green aspiration of ‘being highly involved in the community and environment’. This is done by contributing to community upliftment and development programmes that are both empowering and sustainable – and by encouraging others to do the same through various volunteerism initiatives.

6 TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM EFFECTIVENESS OF THE GROUP’S CONTRIBUTIONS THE NEDBANK FOUNDATION HAS IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING FOUR AREAS AS KEY PILLARS FOR THE BANK’S CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY:
