Business Principles

A compass to guide us on our journey

Based on our four Corporate Values, we have formulated Business Principles to guide all our employees in their daily work. Defining them clarifies what we stand for and unites us as a group.

These Business Principles are:

• We are the heart of our organisation
• We pursue excellence
• We aim to maximise long-term shareholder value
• We manage risk prudently and professionally
• We strive to provide excellent service
• We build our business on confidentiality
• We assess business partners on their standards
• We are a responsible institution and a good corporate citizen
• We respect human rights and the environment
• We are accountable for our actions and open about them

Business Principles alone are not the answer to every problem, but they do challenge us to translate their spirit into our daily practice and shift our horizons beyond short-term profit to long-term value creation through sustainable development.
