MESSAGES FROM OUR LEADERSHIP

MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN

A VISION OF BUSINESS-LED SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

As Chairman of the Board, it is my great pleasure to present to you our seventh sustainability report. We have renamed this report our ‘sustainable business report’ to refl ect better our belief in the commercial importance of sustainable development and how it makes good business sense.

“Commercial, business-driven approaches are required to create the lasting economic growth needed to address social needs and empower communities.”

There was a welcome focus on innovation this year. At Safaricom, we strongly believe in taking bold risks, charting new paths and running initiatives that will drive and build the Kenya innovation ecosystem, acting as a catalyst for other stakeholders to contribute towards the same.
