Companies spent an estimated R10.2bn on corporate social investment (CSI) in South Africa in 2019.

This is a 5% year-on-year increase in nominal terms but flat when taking inflation into account, reflecting a subdued economy.

Together, these three sectors accounted for 57% of CSI expenditure in 2019, down slightly from previous years.Just over half of all surveyed companies reported increased CSI expenditure in 2019, down from almost two-thirds in 2017 and 2018. The proportion of companies supporting disaster relief increased significantly, from 28% in 2018 to 41% in 2019. However, only 2% of companies’ CSI funds were directed to the sector.
