Disclosure and Reporting

We strive to be a responsible investor. In working towards our ESG goals and objectives, we are dedicated to transparently disclosing our progress.

Initiatives

Internally, we launched ‘Green Wave’ as part of our early sustainability efforts at Wavemaker Partners. The goal was to raise awareness at our firm and within our community about the triple bottom line—People, Planet, and Profit. Our first steps included hosting sustainability workshops for our founders and achieving Carbon Neutral status in 2021 with South Pole.

As our focus has evolved toward integrating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) into everything we do, we’re still dedicated to creating meaningful impact beyond our portfolios. We recognise that global sustainability requires more action than we can currently take on, so we’re constantly looking for new ways to enhance our efforts. When we say we invest in sustainability, we’re dedicated to creating waves of positive, 
lasting impact.

Our non-profit organisation that provides a holistic education programme euipping economically disadvantaged, high-ability youths with a growth mindset and broader perspective through 
experiential learning.
