ESG principles are a vital component of Kerogen’s commitment to responsible investment.
We are committed to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have used the UN SDGs to align our investment strategy with opportunities in which we believe we can achieve a positive impact.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations in 2016 to tackle poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. The goals were developed to replace the Millennium Developments Goals.
