MBM Capital pursues a long-term investment approach in the service of the economic development of the Republic of Guinea. This mission can only be accomplished through uncompromising ethical standards. This code brings together the principles that MBM Capital imposes on itself and expects from each of its staff, partners and supported companies. It complements, without replacing, the legal and regulatory obligations to which the house is subject.
Article 1
Integrity and compliance
MBM Capital conducts its activity in strict compliance with the laws and regulations in force in the Republic of Guinea, in the countries where it operates, and within the international standards applicable to its profession. This requirement applies in particular in the following areas:
- the fight against corruption in all its forms — active and passive, direct and indirect;
- the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing (AML-CFT), in particular in counterparty identification and know-your-customer procedures;
- compliance with applicable international financial sanctions;
- tax compliance, both for the house itself and in the structures it proposes to its partners.
No economic gain, however significant, can justify a breach of these principles. Any staff member or partner who becomes aware of such a breach is required to report it.
Article 2
Confidentiality and inside information
The work of an investor and financial structurer involves regular access to sensitive information: ongoing projects, non-public financial data, strategies of supported companies, terms of ongoing negotiations. MBM Capital regards the protection of this information as a cardinal obligation.
The house's staff are bound by a strict duty of confidentiality, which continues after their duties end. No information acquired in the course of professional work may be used for personal purposes, disclosed to unauthorized third parties, or exploited for purposes unrelated to the assigned mission.
Article 3
Prevention of conflicts of interest
MBM Capital pays constant attention to identifying and managing conflict-of-interest situations, whether they involve the house itself, its staff or its partners. Any such situation, actual or potential, must be reported to the house's management as soon as possible, so that appropriate measures can be taken — abstention, informing the partner concerned, recourse to an independent third party, or any other suitable arrangement.
In particular, MBM Capital ensures that, within its internal organization, it clearly separates functions liable to give rise to conflicts — notably between support activities and equity-investment activities.
Article 4
Responsible investment and ESG commitment
In its investment decisions and the monitoring of its holdings, MBM Capital integrates extra-financial criteria relating to the environment, society and governance (ESG). This integration aims to reconcile the house's economic performance with an effective contribution to the sustainable development of Guinea's productive fabric.
In practice, MBM Capital seeks to favor projects whose economic viability is accompanied by an identifiable positive impact, whether the creation of lasting jobs, the formalization of activities, the strengthening of the governance of supported SMEs, or innovation serving inclusion. The house also takes care to exclude from its scope any activities contrary to the principles set out in this code or to the commitments made to its funding partners.
Article 5
Relations with stakeholders
MBM Capital maintains relationships with all its stakeholders — investors, funders, supported companies, public authorities, professional organizations, internal teams — based on transparency, mutual respect and loyalty. The house seeks in particular to:
- inform its investors and funders regularly, honestly and fully about the performance and challenges of the vehicles it manages;
- support entrepreneurs with both rigor and goodwill, while respecting their autonomy and their project;
- engage with regulators and public authorities constructively, while respecting their prerogatives;
- provide its staff with a respectful, developmental and stimulating working environment.
Article 6
Gifts, benefits and invitations
MBM Capital's staff neither accept nor offer any gift or benefit liable to influence their professional judgment, or to give the appearance of such influence. Customary gestures in institutional relations — a symbolic token of cordiality, a business meal, invitations to professional events — are permitted insofar as they remain reasonable, transparent and consistent with local custom. Any situation liable to raise a difficulty is brought to management's attention.
Article 7
Whistleblowing and whistleblower protection
Any staff member, partner or third party who observes a situation that may constitute a breach of this code, of applicable law, or of MBM Capital's contractual obligations, is invited to inform the house's management without delay. A report may be sent to contact@mbmcapital.net or, in cases that warrant it, directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
MBM Capital undertakes to examine any good-faith report with the required diligence, to safeguard the confidentiality of the person making the report to the extent permitted by law, and to protect them against any form of retaliation in the professional context.
Article 8
Application and revision of the code
This code applies to all staff, directors and representatives of MBM Capital, as well as to anyone acting on the house's behalf. Compliance with its principles is an integral part of everyone's professional obligations.
The code is reviewed periodically, and at least once a year, to ensure its relevance and its alignment with the evolution of the house's activities and of its regulatory environment. Any update is published on this site.
Version in effect since 31 May 2026.
