As a purpose-led company, we seek to empower generations to be financially confident, secure and prosperous. Our commitment to transformation is informed by the universal insight that everyone deserves an equal chance and opportunity to live a better life. Our grounding in South Africa has exposed us to the reality that it is impossible to transform economies without dealing with the underlying systemic social challenges, including redressing past injustices.
With the Sanlam transformation agenda, we are aiming to “build back better” in the markets where we operate. We want to truly align these markets with the natural, social and economic systems on which they depend and to build real resilience, driving equitable and sustainable growth and essentially reinventing capitalism itself.

Sanlam is committed to authentic transformation. We do transformation for the right reasons. We believe that true transformation is imperative for the business, employees and communities we operate in to thrive. Transformation is infused in our business and embedded in our values.

Transformation is one of the key ways that we create meaningful impact and address socio-economic issues. This extends beyond internal changes in our business to helping clients protect themselves and build financial resilience.

Now in its third year, the Sanlam Transformation Gauge – in partnership with Sunday Times Business Times – is the only consolidated, sector-focused research report that takes a holistic measurement of economic transformation in South Africa, accounting for all elements of Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE).
The 2023 Sanlam Transformation Gauge unpacks what is working, what isn’t, and looks at how we can spark debate and drive new solutions to reinvigorate our collective efforts to actively and deliberately include all South Africans in the economy.
Our stakeholders
At Sanlam, we take our stakeholders seriously and believe that transformation happens when all our stakeholders partake in the economy of the country.
Through the years, we have built strong business relationships with our suppliers. This has helped us form good partnerships and enabled quality service from our suppliers. Through supporting our suppliers, we have helped build resilient supply chains.
