Harith Development Impact Report 2021

About this report 

The purpose of this development impact report is to provide our stakeholders with a transparent account of how we addressed the most material environmental management, social responsibility and corporate governance issues during FY2021. We have also included material issues that may extend beyond these dates.

Introduction from the CEO: Giving effect to our impact philosophy

Harith’s mandate includes driving infrastructure development for the improvement of community services and sustainable economic growth. We only invest in projects that have an expected positive net impact on society while delivering sustainable financial returns to our investors. We actively contribute to the sustainability of our investee companies as we believe sustainable businesses generate positive environmental and social impact both directly and indirectly. We are committed to monitoring the impact of the projects on the communities and physical environment in which they operate.

Our impact measurement activities feed into our knowledge base
and organisational practices, enhancing our ability to identify opportunities, constraints, impacts and social risks. In addition to having positive environmental and social impact, we expect our investments to yield a financial return.
