About Us

We are all about realising rare and unseen potential.

Championing Transformative Global Impact

For a real difference.

ARCB Investment LLC (ARCB) is a venture capital management corporation that makes sustainability as the pivot of our investment activities. Our pursuit of nurturing sustainability is realised through developing the kenaf industry. With the immense potential in turning potential into possibilities, we believe that kenaf will be the catalyst of future sustainability. Through our investment activities, we amplify our impacts to drive the agenda forward for the current and coming generation.

Empowering People and Progress

Starting from within.

Sustainability remains steadfast in the heart of our business and our employees as outlined in our Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) approach. Our leaders set the benchmark for progress, leading by example and aligning our interests with business partners. This means that we support sustainable practices, products and solutions that deliver the least or without adverse ecological impact and a positive environmental legacy for the future.

Advancing the Sustainability Agenda

As a driver for positive change.

Building on the success of kenaf cultivation, we aspire to act as a platform for traders, collaborators, and business partners to further develop and improve sustainable kenaf products. Going forward, ARCB also intends to focus on the areas of investment holding, asset management, sustainable development, financial technology and advanced technologies, positioning ourselves as an international investment company. We have expanded to Dubai, and soon, when the opportunity arises, we plan to extend our operations to the rest of the world.
