Governance

Every day we strive to operate responsibly, ethically and transparently – earning the trust of our team members, communities and customers, mitigating risk, and ensuring business resilience. Modeled after public company best practices, our governance model was developed in consideration of the size and complexity of the portfolio of businesses that comprise the Samuel group of companies, the matters we deal with, and the materiality of our investment decisions.

Business Resilience

Ethics & Compliance - Our team members and representatives must annually affirm their commitment to our Code of Conduct which sets clear expectations on business conduct and decision-making.

Policies - We have a number of important policies that guide our team members’ actions in the areas of business ethics, compliance with the law, human rights and financial reporting.

Management - Our leadership team, Board of Directors and overarching management systems ensure sound oversight of Samuel’s daily operations, future direction, enterprise risk management, financial management and long-term strategy.

Business Resilience - Samuel ensures business resilience and the achievement of our strategic objectives by continually assessing and mitigating potential risks, enabling agile decision-making and monitoring key performance indicators.
