Sustainability

The financial world tends to associate ‘added value’ with monetary value. Let’s be clear: profit is necessary. It’s a condition for committed investment and the creation of long-term sustainability. But for Korys, the social added value is at least as important as the monetary one: by investing in people and companies, we want to have a positive impact on the world. Our vision, based on the 3P philosophy, is core to all our activities.

We choose to ‘add value’ by positively
affecting the world in which we live.

Sustainability through our portfolio

Together, our portfolio companies (the companies in which Korys invests) form a network in which people, planet and profit are equally represented.

This balance is only achievable by scoring, evaluating and adapting on a company level:

The 3P philosophy as a guiding principle

People

For Korys, investing also means inspiring people. We are proud to serve as an inspiration to: 

Planet

Sustainable entrepreneurship is a term that covers a lot of areas. For Korys, the focus is on: 

Profit

As an investment company, Korys responsibly manages the capital of the Colruyt family. Whether this takes the form of Direct Investments, Fund Investments or Liquid Investments, a strong return is one important goal of each and every investment we make. However, when we participate in a promising company or look for the right investment or fund to invest in, ‘sustainability’ is also treated as an equally important criterion. Through sustainable investments, we attempt to increase the estate allowing us to sustainably invest the returns. The greater the return, the greater our social impact.
