Acap Partners



Business principles


At Acap we are determined to operate with the utmost integrity and in accordance with best commercial practice. We have therefore adopted a set of five guiding principles*:
  • to be open and honest in all our dealings, while respecting commercial and personal confidentiality.
  • to be objective, consistent and fair with all our stakeholders.
  • to be a good corporate citizen, demonstrating integrity in each business and community in which we operate.
  • to respect the dignity and well-being of all our people and those with whom we are involved.
  • to operate professionally in a performance-orientated culture and be committed to continuous improvement.
We believe that ensuring that the businesses in which we invest share our business principles serves to enhance the sustainability and long term value of those businesses.

Acap and the companies that we invest in work within a strict corporate governance framework that applies throughout the investment lifecycle.

Good corporate governance is an integral part of our approach to doing business and we only invest in companies committed to working towards international good practice in the areas of business integrity, social issues, environment and health and safety.



*these business principles were developed by Actis based on more than 50 years of experience investing successfully in developing countries
