Our approach to risk
Insimbi recognises that risk is inevitable in business and that it goes hand in hand with opportunity. We have established a risk management system that allows us to pursue business opportunities and grow shareholder value, monitor risk in our investments and develop and protect our people and the environment in which our group operates.
Corporate Governance
The Insimbi board acknowledges its responsibility for ensuring that the principles of good governance are observed and incorporated into the operational management of the group. The board is furthermore committed to ensuring that principles of good governance permeates our organisation so that operations are conducted in an efficient, ethical and sustainable manner.
Ethical Codes and Values
Insimbi’s commitment to ethical practices is paramount and permeates all aspects of our business. We have a clear set of values and behavioural code of conduct which requires staff to display integrity, mutual respect and openness at all times, and affords them the right and obligation to challenge others who are not adhering to these values.
Transformation
Transformation will always remain a priority on our agenda. In recognition of the importance of employee ownership, as well as the need to reward and incentivise management, Insimbi EmployeeCo Proprietary Limited and Insimbi ManCo Proprietary Limited were established and employees and management were offered the opportunity to acquire shares in the schemes.
In 2016, the four founding executives of Insimbi sold equal portions of their shareholding in Insimbi to New Seasons Invest Holdings Proprietary Limited. New Seasons is an established black owned and managed investment holding company and is a Level 1 B-BBEE contributor.
