Responsible management is fundamental to the way we, and our group companies, do business. It has been at the core of our investment philosophy, enabling us to build a resilient and sustainable business, through our role as a long-term active shareholder, employer and contributor to the communities in which we are established.
Our belief in responsible management has long influenced and guided our investment and management decisions. We invest in quality companies with sustainable franchises and attractive growth prospects that demonstrate they are managed in a responsible manner. We also take a prudent approach to risk and incorporate the analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our investment process. This, in turn, leads us to invest in companies that have sustainable business models.
Responsible management defines the way in which we recruit and develop our workforce. We provide our employees with challenging and rewarding careers, give them the resources to develop their expertise and leadership skills, and support their volunteer efforts within the communities in which we operate.
An intrinsic tenet of our responsible management philosophy is to be a good corporate citizen, to be environmentally conscious, to support our communities, and above all else, to behave ethically and act with integrity, enabling us to earn the confidence of all our stakeholders.
