OUR PHILOSOPHY

The success of Rosbottom Interests can be directly attributed to our Company Philosophy. A Corporate Culture Dedicated to Excellence, Creating Company Value and Shaping a Future of Which We Can Be Proud.

Dedication To Excellence

We will attract, motivate and retain high-performing people in all areas of business. We expect a passion for excellence. We are dedicated to finding the best way, from whomever will share it with us. We expect integrity, civility, openness, support for others and commitment to the highest standards of achievement. We will treat our customers as partners by listening, understanding their needs, responding fairly and living up to our commitments. We will strive to provide our customers with exceptional service and a genuine interest in their satisfaction. We will provide these quality values consistent with improving our productivity.

Creating Company Value

Our long term goal is to maximize company value. We will not measure value by the size of our company, but by its profitability. Our preference is to directly own a diverse group of businesses that generate cash and consistently earn above-average returns on capital. Building on past successes - we will attempt to grow our portfolio companies into strong and profitable global leaders in their industry. We will not diversify by purchasing entire businesses at control prices that ignore long-term economic consequences. Our greatest challenge, however, will be generating new ideas.

Shaping A Future Of Which We Can Be Proud

We will shape our future by complying with applicable laws and regulations at all government levels wherever we do business. We will contribute to the communities which we operate and address social issues responsibly. We will conserve natural resources and continue to invest in a better environment.

The Future

As we approach the 21st century, we must see change as opportunity and not threat. The progress we have made has given us a solid foundation for the future. This strong groundwork, however, cannot allow complacency. We are pleased by our accomplishments, but are by no means satisfied. Much has been done, but there is still much to do.
