Investing in the Green Economy and Infrastructure
Our responsible investment initiative is a game changer – in our contribution to sustainability, and in shaking up the competitive landscape across all our markets.
Why it matters
Addressing environmental, social and governance factors in our investment and ownership decisions makes good business sense. This long-term approach adds value to all our stakeholders and means that the investment decisions we make today take into account the wellbeing of future generations.
Funding a greener future
We have funds that are specifically focused on infrastructure, renewable energy and housing. By the end of 2015 we had invested R10.2 billion* in affordable housing projects. A further R57 billion* was invested in other infrastructure projects including schools and sustainable agriculture. Through Old Mutual Investment Group and Nedbank, we are a leading participant in the South African Government’s renewable energy programme. This will help the country’s transition to a mixed-energy, resourceefficient and socially inclusive economy.
