Action on climate change, affordable access to digital services, and delivering sustainable consumer products and services are fundamental to our sustainability agenda.
As one of the world’s largest technology investors, we create sustainable value by building consumer internet companies that address big societal needs – they improve people’s everyday lives and enrich the communities they serve. Our portfolio of digital services is driving a systemic transition, from a linear economy of take-make-waste, towards a circular economy of improving material efficiency and using sustainable resources.
Our locally owned and built businesses are not only driving innovation in key areas of life – from finance to education – they are also creating jobs and helping to transform social and economic inequalities.
By integrating sustainability considerations into all our decision-making – from capital allocation to performance management – we are building a portfolio of low-carbon businesses contributing to social progress. Across our portfolio, we set group-wide standards for responsible investment and ethical companies applying fast-moving technologies such as fintech and edtech.
Honesty and integrity are the foundations of our reputation and are essential for the trust of our stakeholders: it is crucial we guard our reputation and preserve that trust.
As a global group comprising many local businesses, we are building a culture of ethics and integrity across our portfolio. We are committed to good governance. We comply with the laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate.
Our businesses pay taxes in the countries where they operate and where our consumers live. We are proud of our record in cooperating with governments in these countries to assist in providing infrastructure and resources to local communities.
Responsible investing is core to our approach
Every investment we make has the potential to transform inequalities and drive innovation on issues from climate change
Our investment decisions are focused on high-growth sectors where we can support local entrepreneurs to develop scalable, transformative technologies.
