Quam is an extraordinary company. We believe.

​

PURPOSE / MISSION / VALUES

PURPOSE: We help the daring build legendary companies. 

MISSION: To help realize rare potential.

VALUES: QUAM has a history of making a difference to the regions and within our communities. That is as much a representation of our core values, which focus on generating long-term growth and a positive social impact, as it is a financial return motivation.
 

Our Core Values: Our Belief Statement is what we stand for, what we are passionate about and what we aspire to. It sets out our purpose and what we are here to deliver to our partners. They are the foundation of who we are and how we conduct ourselves. They guide us and act as our moral compass.

​

Our Corporate Integrity is non-negotiable and has evolved from the personal integrity common to every member of our team.

 

OUR CULTURE

We encourage our people to challenge accepted views. We have a distinct way of working which embodies:

​

Creativity: We encourage our people to challenge perceived wisdom and established market views. We actively promote an entrepreneurial environment.

​

Tenacity: Transforming a business which needs fundamental change requires determination and commitment, particularly when challenging the accepted way of doing things. It requires us to set ambitious targets for ourselves and for our portfolio businesses.

​

Transparency: We encourage a culture of open communication. This improves the quality of our decision-making and the effectiveness of our teams. It is also essential in order that all our stakeholders – customers, employees and Investors, understand our objectives, plans and results, and how our activities and businesses contribute to the wider community.

​

Operating in a non-hierarchical environment: We operate under a flat organisational structure to ensure the right combination of people can be brought together for each transaction because we believe that to create value, everyone’s contribution should be sought directly and their opinions and ideas considered without being filtered. There are no contrived limitations on how quickly individuals can progress through the organisation; QUAM gives people the opportunity to develop their roles as quickly as their ability allows.

 

INVESTING RESPONSIBLY

We understand that the effective ownership and management of a company creates benefits for all stakeholders: from employees to customers, suppliers to shareholders, and the wider community at large. Therefore, QUAM is committed to helping its Investment Partners make responsible investments in order to create sustainable, long-term value in close partnership with management teams.

​

QUAM takes into account the ten principles of corporate governance enshrined in the UN Global Compact and is in the process of putting comprehensive mechanisms in place to incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.

​

We are aware that there is significant opportunity to influence corporate behaviour to achieve improved ESG/sustainability performance through the ownership of its portfolio companies. QUAM believes that best practice on ESG issues both mitigates risk and captures opportunities that enhances the long-term value of the portfolio companies.

​

ESG & SUSTAINABILITY  

QUAM is increasingly aware of the impact that the private equity industry can have on society and the environment. The sector reaches a large number of people across many countries and involves the use of a significant amount of the earth's natural resources.

 

QUAM therefore believes that Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues should be integral to the investment process and is in the process of enhancing and formalising its approach to these issues in its own investment programme.

​

GOVERNANCE

Quam is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and we have a well-established and effective corporate governance framework.
