Besides a broad range of savings, investment and financing products, in both local and foreign currency, SBM offers a large portfolio of cards, designed to suit needs of specific customer segments.

Risk Management

The Group has a well-diversified credit portfolio, whether by segment or by industry group. International business expansion is also helping the Group to further spread the risk in its books. The Group’s risk management structure is independent from the business generating areas to avoid conflicts of interest, and is overseen by the Board of Directors. The Risk Management Unit ensures adherence to regulatory norms and the risk appetite limits and recommends changes to the set risk parameters and limits. The risk management capabilities are supported by good management information systems, a solid internal rating system and robust policies.

Human Resources

The Group’s people strategy is at the heart of its growth objectives. SBM employs more than 1,200 staff in Mauritius, India and Madagascar. These employees are core to the organisation in providing quality service to customers, thus generating sustainable business and building the brand. As a key source of competitive advantage, human capital has gained increasing importance notably through a clear programme of retention, motivation, training and reward.

Market Firsts

SBM is also rightly recognised for its lead in technology.

Corporate Social Responsibility

SBM firmly believes that sustainable growth can only be achieved in partnership with the community in which it operates. SBM Group ploughs back 2% of its profits annually in the community through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The areas of intervention of SBM are: Health & Wellness, Education, Environment, Sports, Leisure & Arts and the Empowerment of vulnerable groups, all of which have an educational dimension. Education is key for the development of the individual and the country. The ultimate goal is to combat social ills and poverty by providing the opportunity to vulnerable groups to acquire skills so as to be economically independent. SBM also fosters a culture of volunteering among staff through awareness, opportunities and company support.

Equality & Diversity Programme

Equality translates our recognition of the close interlink between all economic agents, in whatever role they may be, and of the importance to ensure that people are treated justly and given fair chances. Within the Group, we are committed to equal opportunity policies and strive to become the preferred employer of choice by providing growth opportunities to employees and investing in staff welfare. In addition to our internal policies which promote equality at all levels, the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme is aimed at improving opportunities and participation within the community at large. Diversity, for its part, challenges established practices and, hence, pushes the Group to strive for the best in everything it does. Whether in terms of customers, employees, business segments, revenue streams, risks or ideas, diversity generates self-reinforcing dynamics, which help the Group grow into a stronger and more balanced organisation. To further our commitment as an Equality & Diversity champion, SBM has symbolically earmarked four of our national festivals, namely Chinese Spring Festival, Eid-Ul-Fitr, Divali and Christmas, which are celebrated with staff and customers through various initiatives.
