Ardian has recently launched Architects of Lasting Change – a campaign illustrating the high value we place on our relationships, driving positive change and building to last.
Defining ourselves as “Architects of Lasting Change” was derived because an architect combines precision with creativity in order to build monuments of lasting value. We believe we do the same through our investments.
Ardian’s wide-ranging team of specialists operate with a singular focus to deliver excellence today, while always thinking about our collective impact tomorrow – investing all of ourselves in building companies that last.
This is the cornerstone that allows us to drive the success of our portfolio companies, grow value for our investors and propel the careers of our employees.
Being true Architects of Lasting Change – in Ardian’s view – encompasses six key principles: embracing change, investing today to shape tomorrow, building to last, providing strength, sharing values and accelerating change.
People at the heart of everything we do
People at the heart of everything we do
The six guiding principles are key to everything we achieve, but they are only made possible by the people we work with both internally, and in our wider ecosystem. At Ardian, people are therefore at the heart of everything we do, binding our principles together and driving us forwards.
Lasting change means not only our success, but the collective success of everyone we work with, to build something greater than what we started with. This includes Ardian colleagues, investors, partners and our portfolio companies.
"Our business is about people. One of the main things that sets Ardian apart is the emphasis we place on close relationships with our clients and partners. We invest in people and innovation - and Architects of Lasting Change reflects this." Stéphanie Grace, Global Head of Brand and Communications, Ardian
