Environmental, social and governance principles
Our business operations are informed by a robust environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework, which enables us to ensure that we have a positive impact on society while minimising potential risks to our business, our clients and our continent.
Diversity and inclusion policy
Our commitment to workplace diversity is enshrined in our Group Code of Ethics, and our organisation and employees are committed to managing diversity in the workplace by growing our people, working in teams and respecting each other.
Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we showed up in the face of uncertainty. We put people first, we stepped in to support our clients, we came together to assist the most vulnerable in our societies, and we took the opportunity to pause and reflect on the way we live and work.
