Liberty Medical Scheme and Sappi’s Sandisa Imvelo Initiative – partners for nature and health

The environment. Probably the biggest single driver of growth in the CSI industry in recent years.

Every day, the ‘great green awakening’ makes company after company take a good look at its impact on the environment. At Liberty Medical Scheme (LMS), we strongly recognise our responsibility as a corporate citizen – towards both our stakeholders and the environment within which we operate. And this is one of our motivations for partnering with Sappi.

LMS and Sappi share a belief that every person is crucial to the success of growing a healthy environment, healthy people and a healthy planet. At the same time, LMS takes a holistic approach to health, while Sappi focuses on sustainably green natural environments. Little wonder that our ‘healthy environment partnership’, Sandisa Imvelo, made such sense!

LMS believes that health is about more than just physical wellness. It’s a combination of factors, including exercise and the environment, that empowers members to own their health. Sappi, in turn, is concerned with restoring de-forested areas to their natural beauty, lowering carbon footprints and contributing to the health of local people and communities.

As a team, we strive to grow nature and health – together.
