Ikigai Ventures float on the Main Market of the LSE
September 2022
Ikigai Ventures is an investment company established to acquire businesses focused on having a strong positive social impact.
The Company was incorporated in 2021 to undertake the acquisition of one or more companies or businesses that have a strong positive social impact and/or ESG strategy as part of their core business in Asia.
Ikigai, (pronounced “ee-key-guy”) is a Japanese concept that means, amongst other things, a reason for being and refers to having a direction or purpose in life. Although the origin of the word can be traced back to the Japanese Heian period of 794-1185, the directors believe this age-old ideology has a growing significance in the 21st-century corporate world with reference to businesses increasingly emphasising a positive social impact as well as ESG (economic, social, governance) strategies as their primary focus.
The directors believe that ikigai is not simply a fashionable statement about sustainability or corporate social responsibility, they believe that companies increasingly have elements of sustainability and ESG at their core and that there is a significant opportunity for investment in the sector, especially in Asia.
