ESG

  • Environmental, Social, and (Corporate) Governance (ESG) are the three broad categories, or areas of interest for what is termed “socially responsible corporations” 
  • Because ESG impacts all stakeholders in the corporate, trading, manufacturing and investment sectors, our services aim to meet the needs of a variety of organisations, whatever their level of maturity, industry focus or need.

Our Purpose and our Mission

  • We are a trusted partner providing high quality personalised services. We invest time to get to know our clients so that we know how to best serve them
  • We help our clients, and their potential partners, focus on partnering in a sustainable and compliant manner
  • Our ESG underpins our activities across all jurisdictions where we operate. We focus on business ethics and compliance, people, culture and community involvement.

Engagement

  • We promote regular engagement with our clients and their potential partners as this has always been a critical part of our transaction process. We strive to cultivate active dialogue with those with whom we are engaged and invest time and resources to meet online and face-to-face often, but no less than on a weekly basis.

Business Ethics And Compliance Framework

  • At the core of this framework is strong governance and a robust risk and compliance framework. This framework is supported by procedures and systems to ensure that we apply, at all times, high levels of personal and professional integrity

We invest significantly in our working environment by creating and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment and ensuring ongoing professional and personal development
