Our Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability forms an integral and integrated part of TFG’s corporate strategy, BOLTS. It is one of the key strategic pillars and an imperative embedded in the philosophy and execution of the Group’s strategy.
The “sustain” strategic pillar works towards achieving three clear objectives across our territories. These objectives are relevant to all our brands and territories, and focus our investment and priorities for the Group. Although our ways of working may differ, they are aligned to achieving these common objectives.
