FirstRand is a group of integrated financial services businesses that encourages innovation and rewards different thinking from its people. We are one of the largest banking groups in Southern Africa and we are active in several other markets across Africa and in the United Kingdom. We recognise our responsibility to deliver both financial value and positive social outcomes and have embedded shared value in our strategy and operations.
We are pleased to sponsor the Krutham African Impact Investment Awards case studies series to showcase financial innovation that tackles social and environmental challenges on our home continent. The awards draw out excellence, providing examples for others emulate, showing what is possible when investors work with social entrepreneurs, governments and communities to deliver change. Our strategy encourages innovation that solves our challenges, and we are pleased to support thought leadership on impact investing in Africa.
