Blue7 is a Singapore based impact investor founded in late 2016. Over time, we evolved an investment strategy encompassing a multi asset class portfolio of private and listed sustainable and responsible businesses.

Blue7 deploys a variety of catalytic capital instruments ranging from debt to equity. Working with partners in Asia and beyond, our portfolio operates to create long term value for society and the environment.

Philosophy

At Blue7, we believe in the role of capital in redefining business goals to maximise social, environmental as well as economic returns. We are guided by 7 core values of partnership, innovation, success, faith, humility, resilience and dignity.

Focus

COMMUNITIES

We believe in building more resilient communities by investing in innovative solutions to deliver access to affordable education, quality healthcare and economic progress for all their residents. We favour businesses with strong inclusiveness in their leadership and workforce policies.

ENVIRONMENT

We are humbled by our collective poor stewardship of our environment and feel the urgent need to support businesses to succeed in the sustainable production and responsible conservation of energy, clean water, air quality, food and other resources with environmental impact.

LIVELIHOOD

We see the need to bridge the current huge wealth inequalities and the importance of partnering with enterprises to provide better livelihood opportunities and restore dignity to the disadvantaged poor.
