ESG

Our Purpose and our Mission

We focus on investing and preserving capital in a sustainable and compliant manner. Our ESG underpins Flacks Group activities across all jurisdictions where we or one of our affiliates
operate. It sets out our global approach to sustainable purpose and forms the basis of our decisions by focusing on business ethics and compliance, people and culture and community involvement

Business ethics and compliance framework

At the core of this framework is strong governance and a robust risk and compliance framework. This framework is supported by procedures and systems to ensure that we apply, at all times, high levels of personal and professional integrity. With the support of our risk and compliance function we have put in place the necessary policies and procedures.

We will not enter into, or maintain, relationships with individuals or organisations engaged in, or suspected of having engaged in, illegal or activities which go against its code of ethics.
New projects are accepted in accordance not only with applicable laws, rules and standards on money laundering and terrorist financing, and international sanctions but also in accordance with our risk appetite policy. We do not accept activities involving money laundering, corruption or bribery, child labor, forced labor, the mining and trade of rough diamonds unless Kimberley certified, destruction of high conservation value areas, ship breaking, products or activities that impinge upon the lands owned or claimed under adjudication by indigenous and/or vulnerable peoples or groups without full documented free prior and informed consent (FPIC) of such peoples or groups.
