Approach

How the group builds relationships abroad.

  • 01

    Dialogue first

    Relationships begin with conversation about what each side needs, not with a proposal.

  • 02

    Direct involvement

    The founder is personally involved in international relationships; counterparts are not handed to an intermediary.

  • 03

    Mutual benefit

    The group looks for cooperation that works for both markets, and says so when it does not.

  • 04

    Responsibility

    International relationships carry obligations beyond commerce, which the group takes seriously.
