Codifying our philosophy
In the mid 1990s the need to document our corporate culture became apparent. Company founder and then chairman, the late Mr AP Jessen, summed up our fundamentals in a letter. This list was shared and, with only minor changes, agreed upon by leaders across the business. Today these principles continue to guide all the member companies of the Group across the region.
The standard for corporate behaviour that we commit to is detailed in our Corporate Commitment and Philosophy and our Code of Conduct. As well as nurturing a culture based on these principles, we provide a structure of internal control. At all levels of the business, systems are in place to ensure accountability and transparency.
Our Commitment
