Building Businesses. Creating Meaningful Impact.Responsible Investment

We believe long-term value creation and responsible ownership go hand in hand. As an investment and operating group, we recognise our responsibility to the businesses, employees, communities and stakeholders connected to our portfolio. Our approach focuses on strong governance, ethical business practices, people development, transformation and sustainable growth, with the aim of building businesses that contribute positively to the economies and communities in which they operate.

Responsible Ownership

We believe strong businesses are built on sound governance, ethical decision-making and accountability.

Responsible ownership means understanding the broader impact of business decisions and ensuring that growth is supported by appropriate structures, processes and oversight.

People & Employment

Businesses are ultimately built by people.

We recognise the importance of creating opportunities for employment, professional development and meaningful participation in the businesses within our portfolio.

As our businesses grow, we aim to create environments in which people can develop their capabilities and contribute to long-term success.

Skills Development

Sustainable growth requires capable people.

Where appropriate, we support the development of skills and capabilities within our businesses, helping teams adapt to changing markets and take advantage of new opportunities.

Transformation

We recognise the importance of meaningful transformation within the South African and broader African business environment.

Our approach is focused on practical participation, opportunity creation and building businesses that contribute positively to the markets in which they operate.

Local Communities & Suppliers

Strong businesses are connected to the communities and ecosystems around them.

We value relationships with local suppliers, service providers and communities and recognise the role that growing businesses can play in creating broader economic opportunity.

Sustainable Business Practices

Sustainability begins with responsible management.

We encourage our businesses to consider the long-term impact of their operations and identify practical ways to operate efficiently, responsibly and sustainably.

Ethical Business Conduct

Integrity is fundamental to responsible ownership.

We expect the businesses within our group to operate with professionalism, accountability and respect for applicable laws, regulations and ethical standards.

Long-Term Value, Responsibly Created

For NV Holdings, responsible investment is not separate from value creation.

It is part of how we think about building businesses that are stronger, more resilient and capable of creating value over the long term.
