KIF does not have a sustainable investment objective within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088, it has been setup in accordance with the requirements of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 to promote the following environmental and social (E&S) characteristics:

• Development and operation of energy-efficient infrastructure;
• Support circular economy by diverting waste from landfill through effective waste management systems and recycling processes; and

Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are integrated at every stage of the Fund’s investment cycle. Keppel’s Fund Management and Investment Responsible Investment Policy and Keppel’s ESG best practices are incorporated across the investment lifecycle, where relevant, from initial screening and due diligence through to portfolio management and value creation. The Fund is guided by its Environment, Social and Governance System, which outlines the framework for incorporating ESG risk considerations and value creation opportunities into investment decisions.

The Investment Manager ensures that investments remain compliant during the investment period by reviewing and updating ESG processes in the portfolio management according to evolving market and regulation developments. During the annual portfolio management reviews, the ESG performance of investments are reviewed.

No benchmark has been designated to achieve the E&S characteristics promoted by the Fund.
