Living Our Values
Our value proposition and principles define who we are as a firm and who we aspire to be.

We expect our colleagues, wherever they are operating from, to live our values every day.
When faced with a difficult situation we expect everyone within our team to challenge themselves, and to consult with colleagues, to determine what course of action would be most consistent with our values. While our values guide our behavior and help us to make the right choices, we also have firm policies. These policies established our obligations as members of AI-Group Inc and define the rules of conduct in a range of very specific, often complex, situations. The values’ rules and conducts apply to all our colleagues in our existing offices globally, and we expect our colleagues to comply fully with these policies. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and behavior, and consequently, our policies often go well beyond what is required by law.
Code of Professional Conduct
We are a values-driven organization and aspire to meet the highest professional, legal, and ethical standards. Our code of professional conduct defines a set of expectations for the behavior of all firm members. It serves as a guide to help colleagues understand the core elements of our policies and how those policies are anchored in our values. We expect all colleagues to comply with this code of professional conduct and we expect others working on our behalf, such as contractors, advisors, and other suppliers, to act in a manner that is consistent with our code. AI-Group Inc. is committed to positive social impact through our work with our clients and in the way we run our firm.

We are committed to building a stronger institution that has long-term sustainability and enduring value in Africa and our partners. We are continually innovating our practices to ensure we meet and exceed these expectations.
