In addition to financial capital, it is his belief that both social and human capital play an equal part. It is this focus on the human aspects of successful business management that set Tanoto apart from many others in the entrepreneurial world

Social capital, according to the definition set out by Tanoto, is comprised of the links forged by successful relationships within a company and between two corporations. It is the network created by individuals with a common goal that strive to aid one another in accomplishing extraordinary things. Such partnerships can not only benefit multiple corporations, but even society as a whole.

Tanoto’s own organization, RGE, is one of the first companies to incorporate this ethos into the “three Ps,” people, production and planet. Supporting and nurturing a workforce, keeping an eye on successful financial practices and doing all of this in a way that is not detrimental to the environment is the principle by which Tanoto has built a multi-billion dollar business conglomerate.
