Corporate responsibility

At Cinven, we believe that responsible ownership and business success go hand in hand. We invest on behalf of large public and private sector pension funds, insurance companies, government agencies and private foundations. Many of these institutions have corporate responsibility policies. They scrutinise us closely, and we have always been aware that our reputation depends on their support.  

Cinven is in business to create stronger, more profitable companies, thereby creating competitive returns for our investors. We believe that a responsible approach towards the companies we own, their employees, suppliers and local communities, the environment and society as a whole, is an essential part of our success. We aim to act with integrity at all times and guard our reputation carefully. We value long-term relationships built on trust. We keep our promises and are honest, open and transparent.  

As a minimum standard of conduct, Cinven and our portfolio companies endeavour to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines. We will encourage all our portfolio companies to adopt best practice regarding corporate responsibility, as appropriate to the circumstances of each individual business. Where the needs of our stakeholder groups diverge, we look to our values to help us determine the best course of action, taking the needs of all stakeholders into account.
