Korys

Korys is the name chosen by the Colruyt family for their investment structure. The name Korys is derived from the Latin word for hazelnut tree – Corylus - which is at the origin of the Colruyt name. Their multi-disciplinary approach enables us to create a well-balanced, diversified portfolio of listed stocks and bonds, private equity funds, and direct participations in small and medium-sized companies. Through their investments, they aim to make a positive impact on people and the planet, while generating attractive returns. A “three P” approach (People, Planet, Profit) forms the cornerstone of their investment strategy. They invest for the long term, as they realize that it takes time to achieve the sustainable impact they are aiming for. They focus their investments in sectors in which they have built substantial expertise as a team: Cleantech, consumer goods & retail and life sciences.
