Mission
To build and operate durable businesses that create employment, capability and opportunity in the communities where we work — in East Africa and the United States alike.
Vision
A diversified group whose businesses are the best-run operators in their markets, and whose presence measurably improves the places they operate in.
Values
We operate what we own.
We do not invest from a distance. If we hold it, someone from Mount Eagle is accountable for running it well.
We hire and build locally.
Our East African businesses are led by East African teams. Capability built locally stays locally.
We take the long view.
We are not structured to exit on a fund timetable. We hold, improve, and hold longer.
We do what we said.
In markets where commitments are often provisional, reliability is a competitive advantage. We treat it as one.
Philanthropy is not marketing.
Our charitable work predates the company and is funded regardless of the year we are having.
