The foundation focuses on providing flexible, affordable, and patient capital to small businesses that are socially and environmentally committed, aiming to accelerate the transition to a more equitable and sustainable world.

All investees must demonstrate or commit to implementing these criteria, ensuring that their operations positively impact both society and the environment.

Through its grassroots investments, SK2 Fund aims to build resilient, sustainable, and growing businesses that create substantial long-term economic value.
