ABOUT MINET
Minet is a trusted pan-African advisor that meets the uncertainties of tomorrow by delivering risk and human capital solutions today. As the largest Aon Global Network Correspondent, Minet has access to a network of over 50,000 colleagues in 120 countries as well as proprietary data, research and analytics which enable us to manage and secure the risks of tomorrow and provide clients with an unrivalled advantage.
Our journey started almost 70 years ago as JH Minet Company. In 1997 Aon, the leading global provider of risk management, human resource consulting and outsourcing, acquired the U.K. shareholder, London Minet, as part of their African expansion strategy. As a result, the company became Aon Minet, and subsequently Aon. In 2017 private equity firm Capitalworks acquired Aon’s shareholding in several African operations, alongside local shareholders including governments in many markets, which has created what is now Aon’s largest Global Network Correspondent.

Recognizing this, we’ve cascaded our overarching ESG framework to our local teams in every country, ensuring that our commitment to sustainability aligns seamlessly with local rules and regulations, reflecting our respect for the specific environmental, social, and governance contexts of each region.
This localized approach underscores our dedication to not only meet but exceed ESG expectations, fostering a harmonious balance between global best practices and the distinctive characteristics of the communities we serve.
