Compliance & Governance
No matter where ADQ invests or conducts business, we adhere to our core principles and operate lawfully, ethically and with the utmost integrity. This ensures ADQ can meet the expectations of our leadership and our sole shareholder, the Government of Abu Dhabi.
ADQ maintains high corporate governance standards by adhering to its
principles and the guidance of the Board. To create value for our shareholder,
we closely engage with partners across our portfolio to provide strategic
direction, share global best practice and build an efficient performance
management framework.
By working with other stakeholders and market participants, we ensure a
positive corporate governance environment and support a performance-driven
culture to improve the expected return for the desired level of risk over the
long term, helping to scale ADQ’s portfolio and individual positions across
sectors, geographies and investment strategies.
ADQ’s commitment to integrity extends beyond mere compliance with laws and
regulations. We ensure that employees take the most ethical decision in any
situation. This includes promoting an open and transparent culture that
prohibits retaliation against those reporting concerns in good
faith.
Taking a zero-tolerance approach to bribery, corruption and fraud,
the company makes every effort to identify, disclose, register and manage actual
and perceived conflicts of interest.
Everyone at ADQ and our portfolio companies, along with our consultants,
are measured by the same standards to remain true to the company’s commitment to
our people, partners and shareholder.
