Nampak is committed to making a meaningful contribution to the communities in which we operate through our corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives.

In 2025, we reviewed and approved our CSI policy and identified the following as strategic focus areas:

  • Skills development and education;
  • Community health and safety; and
  • Infrastructure and social upliftment.
 

Total 2025 spend
of R6.9 million

 

Skills development and education

Through on-going support of the YES4Youth initiative, Nampak provides young South Africans with valuable work experience, essential skills, and exposure to meaningful career opportunities across diverse sectors. In 2025, the company provided temporary employment to 66 young individuals. Notably, seven participants from the previous year transitioned into permanent roles, demonstrating the programme’s success in creating sustainable employment pathways for young people.

Nampak’s commitment to education and skills development is reflected in its strategic support for both formal and informal learning pathways.

The group’s approach includes:

  • Support for technical and vocational education and training (TVET)
  • Promotion of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education
  • Targeted bursary programmes
  • Teacher training support.

Community health and safety

Nampak’s commitment to health and safety extends beyond its operational boundaries to positively impact surrounding communities. This includes occupational health and safety programmes to communities near industrial sites and funding mobile health clinics.

Nampak partners with Wings & Wishes, a non-profit organisation that provides critical medical transport for financially disadvantaged children across South Africa. In 2025, 145 trips were facilitated for over 48 children to receive critical or life-saving medical treatment. These children were treated for serious conditions including heart defects, rare genetic syndromes, cancer, and organ failure.

Infrastructure and social upliftment

Sustainable industrial growth must be accompanied by meaningful investment in the communities surrounding Nampak. We invest in infrastructure and social upliftment initiatives to improve living standards and promote workforce wellbeing through basic infrastructure, transport and connectivity and safe housing.
