Macquarie's strength lies in its unique structure and management style which enables businesses to exercise significant operating freedom balanced by limits on risk and observance of professional standards - this is referred to as 'freedom within boundaries'.
Macquarie's management approach encourages a sense of ownership and fosters an entrepreneurial culture among staff, which has led to a history of innovation. Strong prudential management is fundamental to this approach. The focus of central management is on risks to Macquarie arising from market and industry influences and issues of medium and long-term significance.
We believe a company is a member of society and therefore one of its responsibilities is to work for the betterment of that society. We take enormous pride in our philanthropic achievements and environmental initiatives. The Macquarie Group Foundation was formally established in 1985 and is a leading benefactor to the community sector. Since its inception, the Foundation, together with Macquarie staff, has given more than £71 million to thousands of community organisations around the world.
A key feature of the Macquarie Group Foundation’s approach is the diversity of its support. The Foundation supports programs in the areas of health, education, the arts, welfare and the environment.
