STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Stakeholders are the individuals and groups who have an
interest in, or who are affected by, Group business operations
and the manner in which business objectives are achieved.
Stakeholders can influence the ability to create value over
time for any business.
Being responsive to stakeholders is a critical element of how
the Group operates. Our stakeholders were identified as
client medical schemes, shareholders, regulators, providers
of Information Technology, business partners, employees,
trade unions and government.
One of the key stakeholder groups is shareholders, as they
are the providers of financial capital. The AfroCentric Board
and executive management are responsible for managing
the Group in a sustainable manner, to create value for
shareholders into the long term. Sustainable shareholder
value can only be realised by identifying and creating
sustainable value for all other stakeholder groups that
materially influence the Group’s ability to create value.
