Welcome To The Planet Group

OUR VALUES

The Planet Group pursues a long term approach to building businesses based on the following core values:

Cycles
We tend to focus on building large valuable businesses without paying undue attention to cycles – industry, customer, product, technology, capital markets and so on.

Trust
In evaluating businesses and building a company, our due diligence and focus is primarily to attract and support trusted management teams.

Operations
We believe that services businesses are best staffed by good operations people – other personal competencies are a bonus!

Unit economics
Delivering unit profitability is the true cornerstone of building lasting value.

Measuring right
Our preferred approach to building businesses include financial measures related to cash as well non-financial measures including brand, management depth, growth and sustainability.

Equitability
While we are in business to create value, the companies we build need to be good for all parties involved to create positive social and economic value.

Focus
Understanding the spirit and vision of the business is as important as maintaining the numbers.

Results
We believe in results, not reasons.

We believe these are not just astute business decisions; they are responsibilities that affect the world’s future.
