Sanlam has been operating in Namibia for decades, making it one of the most firmly embedded long-term insurance companies currently operating in the country. In 1989, Sanlam Namibia Ltd was integrated into Namibian society with various marketing and administrative activities of Sanlam South Africa transferred to Sanlam Namibia. "Sanlam Namibia takes deep pride in the fact that all aspects of the total insurance function are being performed locally by fully trained committed Namibians.
Sanlam Namibia has switching its social involvement strategy to better serve the socio-economic needs of the Namibian people, from a predominantly reactive and passive strategy to a more involved, proactive and active one . The new social involvement strategy encompasses pure Corporate Social Investment (CSI), Sponsorship and Donations as well as Advice, Consultation and Facilitation. This new approach is proactive to ensure that the initiatives align with our CSI philosophy. At the same time, the projects undertaken align with the country's broader development framework and objectives where appropriate.
