Our purpose is to inspire people by building exceptional businesses that create lasting economic and social value.
Our strategy is to deliver sustainable, value-accretive growth for our stakeholders by building a portfolio of market-leading businesses.

Local manufacturer advantage: Our manufacturing businesses work with customers to deliver products that meet their needs, contribute to government localisation targets, and promote sustainability efforts, positioning them ahead of importers.
Asset lifecycle: Our manufacturing businesses own assets with long useful lives and are equipped with the latest technology, enhancing their competitiveness and entrenching their market position.
Diversification: The diversified nature of revenue and cash flow generation in our portfolio supports risk mitigation and sustainable earnings growth over time.
