Organisational Culture And Values
Prior to 2007, Growthpoint had no employees and the company was managed externally by Investec. When this management contract ended in 2007, we adopted an internal management approach. As part of this internalisation initiative, over the last year, all employees participated in a process to define our mission statement and core values. This new mission and set of values guide employee and business conduct, both within the organisation and externally.
Our Mission
To be the leading South African property company, consistently delivering value to all stakeholders, driven by our passion for property and commitment to our core values.
