IMPACT
At Mata Investments, our impact strategy is deeply rooted in the principle of responsible investing, aiming to generate not only financial returns but also positive social and environmental impacts. We incorporate specific frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and IRIS+ to guide our decision-making processes. By aligning our investments with relevant SDGs, we ensure they contribute to global sustainability targets. Concurrently, we employ IRIS+ metrics for consistent monitoring and evaluation of the social and environmental performance of our portfolio companies.
A pivotal moment in our impact journey was the decision to exit from the coal industry. As a major shareholder in one of Asia's largest coking coal mines, we recognized the need to realign our investments with more sustainable and environmentally friendly industries. This move signified our commitment to responsible investing and the importance we place on environmental stewardship.
