Values and Approach
Our Mission:
We seek exceptional results. Our success is defined by creating long term benefits for all stakeholders – the company, shareholders, employees, and the communities in which we operate. Bessemer’s 125-year history has taught us that our reputation is our most valuable asset.
We believe that the best outcomes are driven by a culture of collaboration and active listening where egos are left behind. Our team operates with a strong sense of urgency and acts quickly and decisively.
How We Work Together
- We strive to be value-added, strategic partners focused on building trust before, during, and after the transaction closes. We’ve built our extensive network of respected industry executives, intermediaries, and buy-side advisors by consistently acting as trusted partners.
- We are forthright, honest, and transparent in our actions, which ultimately define who we are as a firm.
- We mutually establish clear goals and expectations to focus on building long-term value, while providing career development and wealth creation opportunities within each partner company.
- Our committed capital and streamlined decision-making allow us to act quickly and ensure certainty of execution.
Bessemer Investors seeks to make responsible investments by incorporating environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) principles into our operations and how we invest.
We believe responsible investing is not only in the best interests of our stakeholders, but also has the potential to drive sustainable value creation in our portfolio during and after our ownership. We believe that incorporating ESG within our investment processes will help us achieve our goal of leaving our portfolio companies, including their employees, communities, and other stakeholders, and the environment better than we found them.
