How we are evolving: our strategic enablers

Implementation of a strategic direction requires evolution of our operating model to ensure success.

Corporate Structure

To align our corporate structure with the new strategic direction, we are fostering greater integration and agility across our organization. This includes centralising investment capabilities into unified functions and establishing new roles to streamline reporting and management.

Progress made by our strategic business units and changes to our corporate structure are reviewed in the Corporate Governance report, and through discussions around Our Team.

Organization and Human Capital

We are bolstering the capacity of our investment teams and realizing significant gains from SEDCO’s strategic shift. Bringing an investor mindset to all that we do, we are managing two distinct, at-scale asset pools with unique approaches and targets.

A comprehensive review of SEDCO’s investment portfolio coupled with our social and environmental impact, beginning on page 26, presents a picture of our organisational setup around asset pool focus, investment objectives, and sustainability ambitions. A review of our Human Capital, on page 60, describes how we continue to strengthen capacity in our chosen sectors to ensure best-of-breed investment capabilities.

Corporate Governance

To ensure that our governance framework aligns with that of a financial investor, the Management Investment Committee will evolve and the Governance Manual will be updated to reflect changes in our organizational and operating models.

The Corporate Governance report details our ongoing commitment to ethics and good governance, and progress made during the year.

KPI’s and Performance Management

Ensuring vertical alignment and horizontal consistency, we have established strategic Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from the CEO level, and cascaded down to our operational functions; aligning them with our transformational strategy.

Actions to deliver our strategy at an operational level and developments to our performance-driven culture, are explored in the discussions on Human Capital.

Brand Identity

From the activation of our values to enhancing SEDCO’s corporate communications and sustainability efforts, we are effectively engaging with our stakeholders and reinforcing our brand identity as a leading Sharia-compliant financial investor.

Alongside the performance of our strategic business units, our approach to engaging stakeholders is discussed in Sustainability at SEDCO. Together, these detail our progress in strengthening SEDCO’s brand identity.
