We support you in developing an ESG strategy and policy and in implementing and integrating them into your investment process. From the definition of relevant exclusion criteria, pragmatic ESG due diligence approaches, ESG clauses for term sheets and shareholder agreements, ESG monitoring and reporting for portfolio management through to exit preparation, we offer you customised solutions. We take into account best practice approaches, the VC-specific market environment and regulatory requirements (e.g. Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, SFDR).

On the basis of a management presentation summarising our findings, the management of your company can decide how to proceed.
