Welcome to the Corporate Security Partner newsletter! I am thrilled to have this opportunity to connect with all of you through this platform. As we embark on this journey together, this newsletter will serve as a space to keep you informed, inspired, and engaged with everything happening in Safaricom and in the Corporate Security space. Whether it's company milestones, new initiatives, or behind-the-scenes stories from the Corporate Security team, this is where you will find the latest updates and insights.

In every edition of the Newsletter, our aim will be to highlight how crucial it is to maintain the highest standards of ethics, compliance and security, and the important role you play as our partners. To demonstrate that even as we continue to expand and evolve, it is imperative that we do so in a way that is responsible, transparent, and above all, aligned with the values that define us. These values: integrity, trust, and innovation are the foundation upon which we build our operations, engage with customers, and manage risks.

In our ongoing efforts to drive digital inclusion and purpose-led growth, I would like to take a moment to recognize just how crucial your partnership is to the success of Safaricom. Together, we have built and continue to build more than just a business. We are creating brands that stand for integrity, innovation, and trust.

It is important to note that, our commitment to a culture of doing the right thing goes beyond internal practices – it extends to every stakeholder within our ecosystem, including you, our partners. Whether it is in the areas of customer privacy, Data Privacy, anti-money laundering, or cybersecurity, we rely on you to uphold the highest standards in every interaction. By doing so, we protect the interests of our customers, the integrity of our brand, and the stability of our operations.

We operate in a highly regulated environment, and non-compliance with laws or ethical standards can lead to serious consequences from penalties to lawsuits. This is why we must work together to uphold the values that safeguard our respective companies’ reputation and ensure sustainable growth.

This newsletter is designed to help you to work with us to maintain our focus on “doing the right thing”, always. When we prioritize ethical practices, we protect customer resources, minimize risks, and pave the way for long-term success. A strong brand reputation translates into higher revenues, improved customer satisfaction, and continued growth of our ecosystem.

We look forward to fostering an even stronger, more collaborative partnership. Together, we can create a trusted, ethically sound brand that transforms lives.

When we come together great things happen!!
