INGLIS Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer F or Kosmos, this means building relationships based on trust and supporting the country’s economic development through investing in people and their capabilities. We aim to be a long-term partner, deeply engaged in helping our host nations create a brighter future, because we know our future success is fully connected to theirs. This approach is underpinned by our Business Principles, which guide our behavior and ensure we make decisions that are mutually beneficial to both country and company. This notion of “country and company” is always our touchstone. INVESTING IN GHANA’S FUTURE Not surprisingly, our efforts have blossomed most fully in Ghana, where we have been doing business for more than a decade, and where we launched last year the Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC), an exciting new initiative that demonstrates the seriousness with which we take our engagement with the country and embodies our differentiated approach. The KIC is our way of investing in Ghana’s future beyond oil and gas. Working across the country’s key industries, we are marrying the art of entrepreneurship with the science of innovation to benefit the Ghanaian economy for the long term. We are doing it by partnering with talented young entrepreneurs who have good ideas and big aspirations for helping their country.
