We are focused on our goals but never lose sight of who we are.

If is often said that you know when a place feels right for you. You know quite quickly whether there are values that you respect and whether the decisions that are taken and the way that people interact just seem to match your sense of what is right to do.

At 3i integrity and respect are highly valued. We have a track record of over sixty years of responsible investing. We know that years of good work can be undone by a single instance of poor judgement or bad behaviour. So we expect every one of our people to be professional, considerate and to act with integrity at all times.

Long-term relationships are important to us, as is diversity of view. We believe that no one has a monopoly on wisdom and that arrogance undermines judgement and destroys relationships. Combining a decisive approach with gathering a diverse range of views before making decisions enriches our choices and makes us better investors. A straightforward and transparent approach to business underpins this. Our influence and success vanishes without it.
