Our approach in 2023

Sustainable Investment and Stewardship report 2023

A focused approach

Given our size and knowledge, we focus on those areas where we believe we can make the biggest difference. Areas where we have strong expertise and data available to drive real progress and to measure it.

The energy and food transitions

We made progress aligning our assets under management with a long-term carbon intensity pathway of minus 7% a year. For the food transition, we want to contribute to transforming the food production system into one that works better for the people and planet. We do this by enabling our clients to invest in new opportunities and helping them understand the impact and dependencies on nature and biodiversity in their portfolios.

Top league impact

At Van Lanschot Kempen, we believe that investing for impact is not only the right thing, but also the smart thing to do. How did our top impact strategies – the Kempen SDG Farmland strategy and the Kempen Global Impact Pool - fare in 2023? We have also worked on fine-tuning our company wide definition of impact investing.

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, it means many things and it’s our business philosophy. It captures the way we work with clients but also the way we steer our investee companies to deliver shareholder value through active engagement.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
