Internal Initiatives
We believe that culture is the most important ingredient in driving the ESG agenda. The FSN Capital culture is built on our ethos and values and is realized through our behavior and priorities.
Winning Together
In 2023 we conducted “Winning Together,” a firmwide initiative to create a DE&I strategy that reflects our values and cultural DNA.
The full FSN Capital team was involved, across 10 crossfunctional working groups, covering topics including Talent & Recruitment, Parenting, and Unconscious Bias. Each group researched, collaborated, and built a recommendation for the firm. A steering group of internal and external stakeholders acted as sparring partners.
The initiative resulted in a vision and definition that are purpose-built for our firm, with buy-in across the organization. We seek to promote diversity of thought, make everyone’s voice heard—and in the end, win together.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
In an increasingly complex world, having teams with complementary skillsets and backgrounds is vital for success. FSN Capital places significant emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I).
Our DE&I vision
We want a workplace where the unique perspectives and qualities of our employees drive better collective decisions in generating outstanding returns for our investors.
Our DE&I definition
We believe in diversity of thought as the foundation for understanding risks and identifying opportunities others don’t. We are committed to embrace differences in genders, ethnicities and educational backgrounds.
We believe in a one-team meritocracy and mutual generosity where everyone has equal opportunities for success and career advancement. We are committed to understanding our biases and listening to every voice.
We believe in creating a sense of belonging and respecting the individual. We are committed to inclusive leadership and transparency on expectations to our employees.
