Together with our partners, clients, and service providers we are passionate about the upliftment of our Country – building a business with purpose.

At RBS, we take our privileged role in broader society seriously and are whole-heartedly committed to a number of key social responsibility practices.

At RBS, our commitment to social responsibility begins in-house. Our dedication to strong governance leads us to promote ethical practices at every level of our business. We also nurture a work environment and culture that encourages our staff to thrive, and we get involved in initiatives that promote the well-being of society at large.

As part of our company’s social responsibility practices, we have an ongoing relationship with various institutions such as Songo. Songo is a social development programme based in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch, which uses sport and education to provide opportunities for children to play, learn and grow while instilling the necessary life skills.

The RBS Academy was established in 2022 through which we will identify, train and develop black talent in the short term insurance industry for placement and succession within the industry that will address transformation and skills shortages in the industry. The insurance industry plays a crucial role in protecting people and livelihoods, and future leaders in the sector must have a strong understanding of ethical and socially responsible practices. This will help to build trust and confidence in the industry and support its long-term sustainability.

By investing in the development of future leaders, the RBS Academy will help to address the skills shortage and ensure the continued growth and competitiveness of the South African short-term insurance industry. At the same time, it will play a crucial role in promoting transformation and creating a more inclusive and diverse industry that reflects the makeup of South African society.

The RBS Academy programs will be all-encompassing, encompassing not only academic qualifications and work experience but also training in the soft life and behavioural skills essential for success.

We have an experienced leadership team in place to drive us into the future. Our company is led by CEO and founding member, Michael Petersen, whose entrepreneurial skills have guided the company from a small start up to a significant player in the financial services industry it is today.

We are a values driven organisation treating everyone with care and dignity. We encourage, value and respect diverse perspectives. Our workplace is diverse and inclusive where people feel valued and part of a team.

RBS is a top empowerment company award finalist for 2023 in the category: Top Empowerment company: Diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
