OUR VALUES

Privacy

At SGA we understand the value of trust and privacy for our customers. For this reason we have at heart to ensure the confidentiality of their

projects and anonymity of our partners, and the information they provide.

Ethic

Strategic analysis and intelligence products can not be effectively deployed without a strong and transparent ethical framework.

Thus, we encompass the importance of following both the best practices of the industry and local and international law into our work. Equally important, we are making the choice to collaborate with clients and partners that share the same values in terms of ESG commitment and impact.

Dedication

As an advisory company supporting our clients in managing the risks they are facing we are driven by hard-work and the aim to build

dedicated and long-standing relationships with both our partners and customers.
