OVERVIEW 9 STRATEGY AND VALUE Like most great stories, ours has humble beginnings. CREATION Founded by a Scotsman named John Fairbairn in 1845, with no capital, just the premiums of the first 166 policyholders, the trust of like-minded individuals and the unwavering belief that together people can achieve more than alone. Our motto became “a certain friend in uncertain times” and we have been delivering on that promise for 175 years. Over these 175 years we have grown from a small mutual life company to a large multi-offering financial services group, with operations in 14 countries and listings on 5 stock exchanges. Through our many years of operating we have gained valuable insights and vast experience, which PERFORMANCE we apply in our business today. The most important lesson we continue to apply is that the things our customers and other stakeholders really care about seldom change. While the world continues to change, we remain focused on finding modern, innovative and relevant solutions to those core needs that never change. Today we can pay out funeral claims initiated via the call centre or Money Account application in less than 4 hours, ensuring that our customers and their families have the funds required during this difficult time. As an organisation it is also core to our values that we do business responsibly and make a real impact in the communities in which we operate. We believe that creating shared value for our investors, GOVERNANCE employees, customers and the communities we operate in, will facilitate the long term sustainability of the Group and enhance our competitiveness. By the end of 2019, we have responsibly invested R133.1 billion in socially inclusive, low carbon and resource efficient investments, representing 17% of assets under management. This is our story and it has just begun - let’s continue to do great things together, every day. REMUNERATION OLDMUTUAL Integrated Report 2019

STRATEGY AND VALUE Globally, the most common type of waste material found on beaches and landfills is plastics, with the majority being single-use plastics CREATION such as shopping bags, water bottles, coffee cups and lids, stirrers and take away containers. As a responsible business committed to reducing our impact on the environment, we are on a journey to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfills, and our use of single-use plastics.

This has led to the reduction of PERFORMANCE waste transported to landfills, subsequently contributing to the reduction of our carbon footprint. At 1 Mutual Place, the introduction of bio bins and the supply of fresh milk in reusable glass bottles, instead of plastic or box cartons, has positively contributed to the amount of waste we diverted from entering the waste stream. We have also piloted the use of Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) to maximise our recycling initiatives.
