Platinum Sponsor
Old Mutual’s strong entrepreneurial spirit can be traced back to 1845, when the company was founded by John Fairbairn – without initial capital other than the premiums of its first 166 policyholders. Today, Old Mutual services the savings and investment needs of millions of South Africans, is listed on the FTSE 100, and operates in 38 countries.
Faithful to its roots, the company continues to foster entrepreneurship via skills training and small business support – providing opportunities for integrating marginalised South Africans into the mainstream economy. It further remains dedicated to its responsibilities as a good corporate citizen, actively investing in our communities and natural environment. In 2008, Old Mutual contributed R38.8m to deserving events, causes and hands-on initiatives.
