Value proposition

Enabling early-stage companies to measure and improve their ESG performance.

ESG_VC is a response by the venture capital industry to the urgent social, environmental and economic challenges that are increasingly impacting early-stage businesses.

The initiative, which has brought together some of the world’s leading VC firms, with investors spanning the UK, USA and Europe, seeks to give entrepreneurs the tools to progress on their ESG journey.

It does this in three ways: a measurement framework for early-stage companies to benchmark their ESG performance; an annual programme of events to provide start-ups with training and best-practice to achieve their ESG goals; and a bank of insights and resources to learn more about ESG.
