Our FY23 priorities include strengthening corporate governance and transparency standards ensuring sustainability remains at the core of our business strategy. We acknowledge that our accountability to shareholders, customers, and all stakeholders is non-negotiable.
We have aligned our business strategy with these global objectives since 2016. Our commitment to the SDGs reflects policy, our values, and our role in driving positive societal change. We'll continue integrating the SDGs into our operations and individual employee objectives.
Our partnership ecosystem, technological innovation, and innovative products continue to address societal challenges, fostering inclusive economic development. Our journey, though, hasn't been without its challenges.
The rapidly changing technological landscape, regulatory shifts, and the evolving expectations of our stakeholders present ongoing challenges.
FY 23 presented numerous socio-economic challenges, and we responded with significant interventions.
Our commitment goes beyond profit; it's about enabling progress, empowering individuals, and shaping a better future for all.
We are proud to be a catalyst for positive change in Kenya, Ethiopia, and the rest of the world. We will continue to innovate, adapt, and work diligently to ensure that Safaricom remains a force for good, connect millions to financial services, empowering communities and driving economic growth. #SustainableSafaricom
Earlier today, we presented our 12th Sustainability report, showcasing our commitment to create opportunities to transform lives and contribute to sustainable livelihoods across Kenya. The report highlights the growth in economic impact created through Safaricomโs capital and operational expenditures during the period under review, titled 'Pathway to a Purpose-Led Technology Company.โ
We are currently in the process of establishing ESG structures and policies within our Ethiopia business. In the next report, we will showcase Safaricom Groupโs sustainability efforts and milestones.
Since 2012, we have diligently documented our sustainability journey as part of our commitment to accountability. We share our successes, challenges, and constraints in a public, transparent, and open manner.
To ensure the credibility of our sustainability report, we engage reputable third-party auditors to independently verify the data, providing an unbiased assessment of our business performance.

Sustainability opens a world of new opportunities for businesses. Businesses that seize these opportunities today will be the leaders of tomorrow.
We have incorporated nine of the 17 SDGs in our business operations, and we have in the past rallied CEOs from the region to commit to the African Business Leaders Coalition, that seeks to advance Africa's sustainable growth, prosperity, and development.
The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda represents a collective promise to build a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous world. #SustainableSafaricom
Great engagement in Eldoret, a practical example of how IOT is delivering meaningful change for the community, especially in optimizing service delivery.
