Our Approach

Our approach to sustainability is underpinned by the three pillars of Environmental Stewardship, Responsible Business, and People and Community, which address the environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects of sustainability.

Environmental Stewardship

We are committed to combatting climate change, improving resource efficiency and reducing our environmental impact. We are providing solutions for a sustainable future, such as clean energy, decarbonisation solutions and sustainable urban renewal.

We have set quantitative targets to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions, reduce water and waste intensity, increase renewable energy utilisation, and grow our portfolio of renewable energy assets.

We are monitoring the latest developments in climate change, and taking steps to manage climate-related risks and seize opportunities by providing solutions that contribute to climate action.

We have also developed a Climate Transition Plan, outlining our plans to build climate resilience and contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation.

Responsible Business

The long-term sustainability of our business is driven at the highest level of the organisation through a strong and effective board, good corporate governance and prudent risk management, including the evaluation of ESG risks.

As a global asset manager and operator, we are committed to responsible investment. We are also driving innovation across the Company and leveraging technology, artificial intelligence and our asset-light model to invest in and create solutions that contribute to a sustainable future, while generating value for our investors and Limited Partners.

We are also working closely with stakeholders in our value chain to enhance their sustainability performance.

People and Community

People are the cornerstone of our business. We are committed to diversity, employee well-being, workplace health and safety, and investing in the training and development of our employees to help them reach their full potential.

We strive to create value and uplift communities wherever we operate. We support initiatives that contribute to caring for the underprivileged, protecting the environment and supporting education, with the goal of building a sustainable future together.

We have committed to contribute up to 1% of Keppel’s recurring income to worthy causes.

Contribution to Society

 

Keppel creates direct and indirect economic value for its stakeholders. Keppel’s business operations generate employment for its staff, opportunities for suppliers, products and services for its customers, returns for shareholders and Limited Partners, and tax revenues for governments.

In addition, Keppel aims to deliver lasting social and environmental benefits to the communities where we operate, through community investments and charitable donations.

Keppel commits up to 1% of our recurring income to worthy causes including caring for the underprivileged, protecting the environment, and supporting education. We disclose the impact of our community investments in our annual Sustainability Report.

Keppel also supports sustainability-related activities of industry/business associations and think tanks which are aligned with our purpose of creating solutions for a sustainable future, as well as those which promote good corporate governance and sustainable business practices.

 

Keppel Care Foundation

 

In Singapore, contributions to Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs) are coordinated and disbursed by Keppel Care Foundation, Keppel’s philanthropic arm, which is governed by its own Board of Directors. As at end-2025, the Foundation had disbursed more than $61 million to worthy causes since its launch in 2012.

 

Keppel Volunteers

 

Beyond philanthropic giving, Keppel encourages employees to be responsible citizens. To encourage volunteerism, Keppel grants employees up to two days of volunteer leave each year. In 2025, Keppel volunteers contributed more than 11,800 hours of community service.
