NSSF: A socially responsible organisation
The National Social Security Fund has been socially responsible, through several social and community initiatives that are being undertaken. The NSSF's Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (CSRP), is a crucial guiding factor for any meaningful social or community intervention.
For NSSF, Social Responsibility means that the Fund must respond to the interests (social, environmental) of the community in which it seeks to prosper. This must be out of a realisation that members, stakeholders, employees, government and the community are looking beyond NSSF's statutory mandate, to its actions and behaviour in the community.
It will be the commitment by NSSF to ensure that in pursuit of financial stability, we have an obligation to promote the social and environmental well being of the communities in which we do business.
Often times, NSSF has supported groups, non profit organizations and or individuals through donations. NSSF's CSR Plan seeks to go beyond the 'charity' or 'philanthropy'to taking into account the holistic effect of its social and community interventions on the community, stakeholders and the society in which we as a Fund are doing business.
Therefore, rather than looking at individuals and or groups, NSSF will through the CSR programmes focus on holistic approach by looking at the impact on the community.
The CSR Policy will:
- Give a benchmark for any Corporate Social and environmental interventions
- Ensure that NSSF's CSR activities are harmonised
- Ensure that NSSF's CSR activities conform to NSSF mission, vision and values
