Our Governance
Group Reporting Initiative Report as at 30 June 2025
NSSF is committed to transparent and accountable ESG reporting, adhering to globally recognised frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). Materiality assessments help us identify key ESG topics relevant to our operations, shaping our reporting practices and guiding our sustainability strategies. This alignment ensures that our efforts meet organisational goals and stakeholder expectations.
Our commitment to transparency is as important as our commitment to performance.
By reporting under the Global Reporting Initiative standards, we provide our members and stakeholders with a clear and comprehensive view of our sustainability practices and impact.
