In a world where we are becoming more aware that everything we do has a significant impact on the environment, society and future generations, the Kairos Group has decided to join the United Nations initiative and become a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) because we firmly believe in the importance of a responsible management philosophy that takes into account the long-term implications of investment choices and directs capital towards activity which, beyond generating returns, also create value for society.
Integrating ESG (environmental, social, governance) factors into our investment analyses and decision process was only the first step in a broader commitment, however. In fact, the Group coined a symbol, in the form of a logo, to distinguish our “responsible initiatives”, representing a small step towards a better future.
‘ensign’ is the iconic emblem of the responsible commitment of Kairos towards a better world and its conviction that sustainable development is the business model of the future which must be implemented now.
