OUR IMPACT

Climate and Sustainability Initiatives

OBOR’s investments actively support climate-positive solutions across Cambodia, targeting sectors that promote environmental sustainability. With GAEA, our portfolio company in waste management, we’re advancing clean waste disposal and recycling practices that significantly reduce air and water pollutants. These initiatives are essential in cutting greenhouse gas emissions, directly supporting global climate objectives. Likewise, our investment in Khmer Water Supply Holding (KWSH) champions sustainable water resource management in rural areas, where climate resilience is increasingly vital. KWSH’s reliable water systems help communities adapt to climate variability, from droughts to flooding, by ensuring continuous access to clean, piped water. These efforts collectively strengthen Cambodia’s sustainability foundation, aligning with OBOR’s mission to invest in companies that prioritize both environmental protection and community well-being.

Financial Inclusion & Access to Capital

OBOR is committed to enhancing financial inclusion by investing in companies that democratize essential services. Through KWSH, we’re bridging the gap in access to clean water for rural households across Cambodia, addressing a critical need in underserved communities. This approach not only improves health outcomes but also supports local economies by providing water essential for agriculture and small businesses. Our investment in Camboticket broadens this impact by bringing streamlined digital booking solutions to transportation, making travel planning more accessible and efficient for Cambodians and tourists alike. Camboticket’s digital platform fosters economic participation by creating jobs in technology and customer support while enabling users to book services conveniently, thereby reducing logistical barriers. Through these investments, OBOR aims to foster equitable access to vital services and support inclusive economic growth.

Community Impact

Our investment strategy emphasizes enhancing the well-being of Cambodian communities through social, economic, and health-driven initiatives. GAEA’s waste management services improve sanitation and public health by reducing disease risks associated with improper waste disposal, creating safer living environments. Additionally, by generating local employment, GAEA contributes to the economic empowerment of the communities it serves. Through KWSH’s clean water initiatives, OBOR Capital supports access to safe water for thousands of rural households, which translates into significant public health improvements and social advancements. With reliable water access, community members, particularly women and children, are relieved of time-intensive water collection tasks, allowing them to pursue education and other productive activities. Similarly, Camboticket’s digital booking platform simplifies travel access, fostering connectivity and boosting local tourism. OBOR’s investments are designed to generate far-reaching, positive impacts on the everyday lives of Cambodian communities, ensuring that growth and development are shared across all segments of society.
