Guardrisk CSI Guardrisk’s social ethics and transformation committee engages the company’s social responsibility committee, known as Lebone (a Sotho word meaning “the light”), to enhance the operations, formalise its activities and maximise social impact. Lebone provides Guardrisk employees with the opportunity to become involved with worthwhile projects and give of their time and resources to previously disadvantaged communities. Guardrisk has partnered with Marsh in the Adopt a Motor Body Repairer project to help make disadvantaged black-owned motor body repairers competitive and sustainable; enabling them to enter the supply chains of the short-term insurance industry and the broader motor body repairers market. Guardrisk has also entered into an enterprise development arrangement where it provides operational support in the form of office premises and facilities to Surenet, a small black-owned financial services firm that specialises in the distribution of assistance policies to the previously underserved market. Eris Property Group CSI Eris has a CSI committee that facilitates the company’s corporate social investment. A budget is allocated every year to the committee which evaluates proposals sent to the company, as well as source worthy and sustainable causes the company can support. Most recently, Eris provided assistance to schools in underprivileged communities, orphanages, animal shelters and other non-profit organisations through funding and volunteering. 25
