Creating Value

Leveraging the Group’s scale, partnerships and expertise to make a positive contribution towards meeting the needs of an increasingly prosperous Asia.

We are excited about the prospect of transforming Asia’s sustainable development challenges into new investment, innovation, growth and talent-attraction opportunities for our businesses. Jardines’ business model comprises a broad portfolio of long-term assets and cash generating activities geared to meeting the needs of Asia’s growing middle class and urbanising population. We are focussed on supporting economic, environmental and social progress whilst avoiding or mitigating adverse impacts from our operations, products and services.

Jardines is in a unique position to achieve positive outcomes through the five core attributes which enable us to create value: a long-term strategic approach; enduring partnerships and co-operation; localised knowledge and relationships; financial strength; and being an engaged owner and operator. These attributes build on our heritage and regional network to maximise the benefits that arise from the complementary nature of Asia’s economies.

Jardines’ businesses share a strong sense of purpose and commitment to do the right things, combined with the pride, energy and enthusiasm of our more than 400,000 colleagues and their families. This is a powerful mix that enables us to contribute deep, long-lasting positive change across the communities where we operate.
