1. LONG-TERM COMMITMENT​

We are committed to sustainable development and it is the objective for our business. At the same time, it is a stance for how we develop our own company. We act in a way that we believe will render us long-term success, rather than cashing in short-term simply by copying others and doing what is politically correct or the current trend. We have the courage to take the lead, review and challenge prevalent opinions. With our long experience we have a unique opportunity to be in the front line, and thus we shall, in order to promote and contribute to sustainable development in the best possible way. Our own history is a living proof of this: When we started our business 15 years ago, responsible investment was almost considered a contradiction in itself. Today “the impossible” has become reality, embraced by the worldwide organizations and an important part of the institutional communities around the world.

2. INTEGRITY

We strive to objectively assess companies in all markets around the world. For this, our independence is absolutely vital. We are politically, religiously and financially independent and have no strings to organisations with a political agenda. Since we have no owner interests or other third-party interests that can influence our analysis or advice, we can limit the risk of being prejudiced and favoring special interests. We apply international guidelines which constitute a common frame of reference since they are widely recognized and have gained approval during a long time period. Decisions are based on facts, and we put every effort possible into collecting information from and consulting with a wide range of sources in order to avoid “condemning anyone without being heard”.

3. RESPECT

We are aware that life is not “black and white” and therefore we are humble when facing the complexity of the issues we deal with and the business reality of the companies. We show respect towards different viewpoints, and never condemn anyone. We do more listening than talking and believe this is an essential part of learning and building competence, which is crucial for our professionalism and credibility. We assess and give advice in a constructive manner, focusing on both positive and negative information.

4. RESPONSIBILITY

We take responsibility for both large and small duties and execute them thoroughly and completely. We assist each other when needed and possible. We take initiative to get things done. We deliver high quality to clients which ensures that we can be proud of our products and services both today and tomorrow. We are loyal to our company and support decisions made, thereby increasing the value of our work and enhancing opportunities for success.
