Our culture

We founded EFG based on some simple basic ideas and continue to stay true to those ideas today.

We fundamentally believe in the power of creativity, accountability, the individual ability to raise to new challenges and that efforts should be clearly and openly rewarded in proportion to their impact on the business.

We believe in learning and growth and in the limitless ability for our staff to expand their skills when they take ownership for their own learning and future. As a company this has our full and complete support and encouragement. Everyone should - and is - learning something every day. A part of the learning experience is taking note of areas for improvement and increasing the quality of what we produce every time we do something.

We believe in standing behind our word and meeting commitments we make to each other and third parties.

We believe in the power of teams to get incredible things done when they work together and embrace the creativity and skills of all the team members.

At least once a year we take our entire business to an off-site location which has a specific meaning to our business and give everyone from top to bottom the opportunity to provide deep feedback on what we are doing, how and where. We translate these into clear action points with owners and deadlines and track them to completion.

We believe in the institutional knowledge and collective intelligence of the Group. Some of our first employees are still with us and have grown along the way are are now in positions of responsibility that is in line with their efforts, commitment and results. The internal promotion and retention of staff is the key to our future and our ability to continue to grow.

We have been able to attract and retain some of the most talented people in the region because of these values and our culture.
