Skandia International has been an integral part of the Old Mutual Group since 2006 so this change is a logical move to align ourselves more with our parent company.

Our new name will be applied across everything that is currently branded with the Skandia International name including our logo, stationery, websites, and certain product and fund names. THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE TO: • the way your account works (your terms and conditions will not be affected and the administration of your account will continue to be dealt with in the same way) • the features of the product in which you are invested • your relationship with your financial adviser nor the relationship your adviser has with us • our phone numbers • the support you receive from AIVA. 2. WHO IS OLD MUTUAL? Old Mutual is an international, FTSE®100 company listed on both the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges. It provides long-term savings products, protection and investments for 16 million customers worldwide.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility at Skandia Sweden with Passion And
    Corporate Social Responsibility at Skandia Sweden with passion and commitment? by Karin Greenberg Master thesis: Management and Leadership, spring 2009 Supervisor: Vedran Omanovic Abstract There is always a story waiting to be told. This is the story about the long and committed work with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at Skandia Sweden. CSR work at Skandia has touched many hearts within the company as well as outside, in other companies, in the Swedish society and in many individuals. Can such a story be forgotten? What were the arguments of yesterday that convinced stakeholders of the necessity to work with CSR and what are the arguments today? The aim of this research is to further the understanding of the mechanisms involved when an organization decides to direct its focus on CSR issues. CSR efforts are carried out on a long- term basis, often in a turbulent business environment. Through interviews and theoretical analysis I have studied events in Skandia’s history of social commitment since 1987. My own background as a former employee, together with the many dedicated employees of today as well as yesterday, comprises the backbone of this work. Since Skandia’s pioneering work in the area of CSR is unique in Sweden, I have chosen to write in English in order to share my findings with a wider readership. Karin Greenberg, August 2009 Illustration 1: Skandia Diversity Policy (2001) 2 Acknowledgements Writing this thesis has been a challenge. Combining it with my work in politics, I backtracked into the history of my employment. CSR was not just another task, but a personal commitment, above and beyond the commitment of the management.
