Ethics by Design
Faithful to People, Honest to Investors.
We operate in Indonesia as an international partner and investor-advisor; our ethics are informed by universal human rights and practical governance, and by Islamic workplace and trade principles — honesty, trustworthiness, knowledge and protection — so every investment we guide benefits investors, communities and the land they share.
Ethical Foundations
Trust & Responsibility
We accept stewardship over capital, people and data; we act as custodians, never exploiters.
Truthfulness & Honesty
All reports, contracts and communications are accurate, complete and verifiable.
Justice & Fairness
Contracts, procurement and benefit-sharing are fair and proportionate to risk and contribution.
Knowledge & Competence
Decisions are guided by reliable evidence, expert judgment and continuous learning.
Safeguarding People & Resources
We protect human dignity, community welfare and natural capital.
Excellence with Humility
We seek practical excellence while respecting local context and rights.
Governance & Accountability
- Ethics & Sharia Advisory Board: Permanent advisory group combining legal, Islamic ethics and community representation to review high-risk projects.
- Code of Conduct: Mandatory for staff, consultants and partners; violations trigger transparent investigation and remediation.
- Whistleblower & Grievance Mechanism: Confidential reporting channels for workers, partners and communities with guaranteed non-retaliation.
- Third-Party Verification: Independent audits and periodic third-party impact verification for major investments.
- Training & Certification: Ongoing staff training on ethical procurement, human rights, anti-fraud, and cultural competence.
Practical Commitments (What we do, step by step)
Honest Trade & Clear Contracts
Deliver transparent term-sheets, explicit KPIs, and plain-language contracts. No hidden clauses; all fees and risk allocations disclosed up front.
Human Rights & Labour Respect
Enforce living wages, safe working conditions, non-discrimination and freedom of association. Local hiring and supplier development prioritized.
Anti-Corruption & Financial Integrity
Zero-tolerance anti-bribery, mandatory due diligence, and audit trails on all disbursements. Conflict-of-interest disclosures required.
Fair Returns & Shared Value
Design deals with proportional risk/return, phased finance to de-risk capital, and benefit-sharing mechanisms for host communities.
Environmental & Food-System Safeguards
Apply regenerative practices, reduce postharvest losses, and screen projects for biodiversity and water risk. Track and minimise environmental externalities.
Sharia-Aware Guidance
Offer Sharia-sensitivity reviews of investment structures and contracts; work with qualified advisors to align deals with ethical finance principles where requested.
Data Protection & Privacy
Encrypted storage, role-based access, and clear consent procedures for all field data and personal information.
Local Culture & Religious Respect
Design interventions that respect local norms, religious practices and social customs — and engage local leaders from Day 1.
Investor Assurance
- Transparent due diligence packages including ESG risk maps, benefit-sharing plans and legal compliance checklists.
- Phased, milestone-based investment structuring to limit downside and link payments to verified outcomes.
