Deliver value to our customers, meeting or exceeding their expectations, and helping them fulfil their plans by providing simple and personal financial solutions when it really matters in a way that is fast and simple, well-governed, fair and flexible.

Invest in our people, compensating them fairly and providing important benefits, as well as supporting them with training and education that help develop new skills for a rapidly changing world. We also foster diversity and inclusion, dignity and respect.

Deal fairly and ethically with our suppliers. We are dedicated to serving as good partners to the other companies, large and small, that we work with to deliver for our customers. We will ensure we are professional, reliable and trustworthy to deal with and that our reputation and brand reflect well on them.

Generate long-term value for investors who, in turn, provide the capital that allows us to invest, grow and innovate. We are committed to transparency and effective engagement with them.

Support the communities in which we work. We are positively active in the communities in which we work, and support local causes that are important to those communities, while being mindful of the environment and embracing sustainable practices across our business. Our flagship community programme is called 'Invisibles'.

We work with our regulators to show them IPF is an important member of a well-functioning financial market. We want our regulators to understand we provide all the information customers need to make an informed decision. We treat customers as equal partners. We are transparent, ethical, and open to any concerns and suggestions our regulators might have.
