For our stakeholders and customers we will always focus on supporting Alzheimer’s disease research; act with integrity; be transparent in everything we do; and celebrate our achievements.

Our key pillars are:

  • Revenue sustainability through diversification of funding support, fundraising, grants and research fee-for-service activity, including
    industry supported clinical trials.

To ensure our continued operations and sustainability we will always have a clear and shared understanding of our risk appetite and have mechanisms in place to ensure we operate within this; ensure appropriate policies and procedures are in place and complied with; maintain strict financial discipline; and refuse to compromise on quality and competence in anything we do and represent.
