At KLAR, our goal is to be a net contributor to society. That means going beyond financial success to embrace our broader responsibility as a majority owner. We recognise that our decisions have a lasting impact on employees, local communities, and the environment. We are committed to making a meaningful difference.
Sustainability is, therefore, an integral part of KLAR’s investment process. Closely aligned with our Community value, it consists of three elements:
Selection: Identify strong tailwinds linked to the UN Sustainability Development Goals, thereby ensuring alignment between sustainability trends and market demand
Market-based initiatives: Identify sustainability initiatives that can be integrated with products & services and are value accretive to the business
Company-based initiatives: Identify key internal initiatives that improve the company’s sustainability footprint
In our experience, fostering sustainable change not only benefits society and the environment, but also strengthens long-term financial performance.
