We at Abalena Capital believes that we are the part of global citizenship, so we provides financial support, volunteer manpower, and intellectual capital to tackle some of the toughest challenges facing the communities in which we live and work.

SUPPORTING GLOBAL COMMUNITY

Abalena Capital has developed a series of principles and procedures, which it applies globally. It adheres to the same values across its business in all of the countries in which it operates irrespective of whether it is subject to official regulation. These principles inform its interactions with employees, portfolio companies, suppliers, investors and the local communities in which it operates.

On a larger scale, we seek to meet our obligations towards our globally community by establishing our strategies that will incite globally economic growth. We have and will continue to achieve this goal by creating innovative investment tools, attracting capital, and scouting local, regional and international markets for valuable investment opportunities that will impact global community in positive way.

Our commercial discipline and ownership mindset is key in hewing out our path in these highly competitive times.

The key principles are communicated through regular training and are regularly monitored to ensure that the standards are being adhered to. The main areas of focus are as follows:


Socially Responsible Investing

The concept of socially responsible and sustainable investing is embedded in the Abalena Capital investment and portfolio management processes.

Environmental, Social and Governance issues are assessed by the Approval and Investment Committees prior to the investment and monitored by the Portfolio Review Committee. During the investment process, risks and opportunities are assessed alongside more traditional financial and market aspects.
