Additional information

Proportion of AUM committed:

INOKS Capital provides customised financing solutions (short-term private debt) to private companies, predominantly located in Africa, Eastern Europe/Central Asia, and Latin America, which are active in the agricultural and food sector.

Access to data is the backbone to quantify, set and achieve emissions reduction targets. Suitable net zero pathways for emerging markets and agriculture are currently underdeveloped, yet this is where investment is most critical to have a real-world impact on reduction. These are the areas in which INOKS operates and so the approach is to engage proactively with a select number of investees in similar geographies/sectors/value chain segments to support the quantification of their activities and implement net zero targets where feasible.

Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:

INOKS does not provide capital to any coal or fossil fuel related- activity, as per INOKS’ Impact Framework and Exclusion Lists.
