According to the Financial Sector Charter (FSC), BEE empowerment financing is geared toward mobilising proper resources and promoting the productive and sustainable participation of black companies and black people. For more information, click here.



• Ownership and Control

Sanlam was not only the first major financial institution in South Africa to conclude an empowerment transaction in 2004, but in so doing it opened up the company's ownership opportunities to a broad base of new black shareholders who are able to share in the economic success of the company.
