Corporate Performance We live in a world where the rules governing business conduct are complex and becoming more demanding over time. Violation of these rules could have serious consequences not only for our business, but also personally for each individual involved. We put in place stringent measures to protect the reputation of the Group and everyone who works with us – such as thorough screening to ensure the integrity of our employees, suppliers, customers and capital partners; and refraining from dealings with any third-party associated with organisations or countries that are restricted by law or sanctions. Responsible Investment We are committed to investing responsibly, which requires incorporating ESG factors into all investment decision- making and active ownership of our assets. We aim to act in the best long-term interests of our stakeholders. In this role, we believe that ESG issues can and will affect the performance of our investment portfolios. We endorse the United Nation’s Principles for Responsible Investment as a voluntary and aspirational set of goals for aligning our investment practices with broader objectives for sustainable development giving rise to a more prosperous future for all.
