Creating jobs helps create growth
Job creation also reduces poverty and improves social cohesion – and it’s at the heart of a thriving and sustainable circular economy. With its 100% investment in Horizon Energy Group, Trust Horizon is contributing to job creation throughout the region. The companies we invest in offer training, apprenticeships, and local jobs – helping build a skilled workforce across our local community.
Investing with impact
Trust Horizon has invested in local businesses with bright futures, including Whakatōhea Mussels Ōpōtiki and OTK Orchards – a partnership with local Maori Landowner Trusts to develop kiwifruit orchards on the East Coast. Our investment in these businesses has created new jobs, training opportunities, and skills for local workers throughout Ōpōtiki and the East Coast; two regions that have some of the highest deprivation levels in Aotearoa.
Discovering further opportunities
The Trust is continuously working to build our portfolio of impact investments, and in turn, create more local employment opportunities. We regularly work with partners and like-minded investors to bring positive change to the region. If you have an investment opportunity you’d like to discuss, please do get in touch.
