Q&A With Kairos Investment Management Co.’s Carl Chang

For Carl Chang, CEO and founder of Kairos Investment Management Co., being a good steward of the world is a priority. Hear from Chang about the social impact and sustainability measures the employee-owned, entrepreneurial real estate investment firm, based in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, is implementing to help both its residents as well as the environment.

MFE: Why is environmental, social, and governance (ESG) important for your firm?

Chang: ESG is important to everyone. As property owners and stewards of the assets and people we serve, each of us has a responsibility to the environment, to each other, and to the globe.

This responsibility guides Kairos’ implementation of effective ESG strategies, through which we make a difference ecologically, socially, and ethically.

Part of that implementation is a continuous focus on growing our impact. We seek out ways to execute our value-add strategies in current properties and future acquisitions through a variety of programs that focus on water and energy conservation and social interaction to elevate tenants’ quality of life.
