In January 2020, Camellia announced that we and certain UK subsidiary companies faced legal claims in the UK based on allegations against two businesses in our African operations, Kakuzi in Kenya and EPM in Malawi.
These claims have now been resolved.
Camellia takes any complaint of criminality, misconduct, illegality, or unethical behaviour against its operations very seriously. We have established a Safeguarding and Stewardship Committee, and we continue to push the Boards of the companies we invest in to look again at their own procedures, and where necessary make operational changes to prevent incidents like those that are alleged from arising in future.
Camellia will continue to do all we can so that our investee companies operate to the highest standards of governance.
This is what the Group’s customers, partners and all our stakeholders expect.
