Our sustainability approach

Momentum Group Limited is a company that enables businesses and people from all walks of life to achieve their financial goals and life aspirations. This vision combined with our values guide everything we do, including our contribution towards good sustainability practices. Our values of accountability, integrity and innovation mean that we take ownership for our responsibilities, our actions and their results, that we believe in doing what is right, and that we challenge ourselves to change the world for the better.


As part of our overall commitment to good sustainability principles, we strive to be financially sound, socially responsible as well as environmentally friendly, with good corporate governance as the overarching principle. In our Code of Ethics, we specify that we respect the world we operate in and are committed to improving the well-being of its societies by designing sustainable products and introducing sustainable services that will fulfil the needs of our stakeholders.
