Since our founding in 2012, we have integrated responsible investment into the core of our principles and practices. We have developed a comprehensive conceptual framework that goes beyond the financial dimension of our activities and allows us to demonstrate our approach to creating global value for the African continent.
The balance we have strived for between financial performance and economic, social and environmental impacts makes sense in the context of this continent, where there are many challenges and opportunities for the population and the environment.
