Description
Summary:Santam, the leading short-term insurer in South Africa, was pursuing a strategy to build climate change resilience in South Africa. In particular, the company was taking a look at its crop insurance business.

And how could the company share its expertise in risk management and mitigation to benefit Africa in the face of climate change?
