S-GLOBAL has a public information policy that is founded on the following principles:

Transperency

S-GLOBAL is committed to disclosure and transparency. Part of our own check on our record for good governance is our constant dialogue with our shareholders as well as other stakeholders such as non-governmental organizations. The process of self-review and dialogue has guided S-GLOBAL’s disclosure and transparency. S-GLOBAL is guided by the underlying presumption that, whenever possible, information concerning our operational activities will be made available to the public in the absence of a compelling reason for confidentiality. Openness helps to promote S-GLOBAL’s impact on transition in its operations.  In order to support the principle of transparency, S-GLOBAL can provide accurate and timely information regarding its operational activities whenever required.

Accountability and governance

S-GLOBAL is committed to reinforcing its accountability to shareholders and stakeholders, and to ensuring high standards of corporate governance.

Willing to listen and receptive to comment

 Through its commitment to open communication, S-GLOBAL demonstrates its willingness to listen to third parties so as to benefit from their contributions to its work in fulfilling its mandate. S-GLOBAL will endeavor to identify, raise awareness and engage with a broad range of stakeholders, including civil society groups, organizations, and members of the public, that are affected by or interested in S-GLOBAL’s investment projects in HTI, its operations and activities, and/or its strategies and policies, taking into account the diverse nature and significance of specific interests and pursuits.  The inter-action with external stakeholders, given their diverse interests, their large number and their global spread, will be flexible.

Safeguarding the business approach to implementing the mandate

An innovative partnership with State in the form of PPP and contractual counterparties is necessary to allay concerns about confidentiality which could affect their willingness to invest in HTI.

S-GLOBAL must maintain the confidence and trust of its partners and its investors. A business-sensitive approach is necessary to allay concerns about the treatment of confidential information which, otherwise, could affect these partners’ willingness to invest in HTI with S-GLOBAL.

  The reputation and the future of S-GLOBAL depend on S-GLOBAL’s integrity. We are committed to promoting integrity, good corporate governance and high ethical standards in all business operations. S-GLOBAL staff promote good governance and ensure that the highest standards of integrity are applied to all activities of S-GLOBAL in accordance with international best practice. In particular, we deal with conflicts of interest, corruption, confidentiality and money laundering. Financial integrity and due diligence are integrated into S-GLOBAL's normal approval of new business and the monitoring of its existing transactions, and we train and advise S-GLOBAL’s staff members who are appointed as directors to S-GLOBAL’s Board and Board of SPVs in which S-GLOBAL holds an equity interest.
