In this post (#5), we share why and how we champion the ESG & Impact agenda in our internal operations. We discuss the steps we've taken to create a strong, inclusive workplace, how we define and track key metrics like employee well-being and diversity, and our commitment to minimizing our carbon footprint. 

In this post (#4), we explain why the investment process should be complemented by a portfolio support model around ESG & Impact. We discuss how investors can drive ESG & Impact initiatives, outline our main framework, describe our methods for measuring and reporting, and share some key lessons we've learned.

In this post (#3), we explain how we integrate our fund’s ESG & Impact priorities directly into the investment process. We’ll break down how we’ve woven these principles into the way we assess and select startups, as well as ensure accountability on a day-to-day basis.

Committed to always making an impact across the board, from how we deploy money to how we partner with founders, we have decided to transparently share our impact journey with you for the second year in a row.

Playing our part in building a better tomorrow

Denmark is in a unique position to become one of the largest impact startup hubs in Europe. The responsibility of investors, beyond financial returns, is being taken more seriously following the corona crisis and criteria like ESG will soon become mandatory. Paired with a new generation of mission-driven founders, who are becoming more selective about what investors they will allow onto their cap table, we see the responsibility movement positively accelerating.

Since day one, we have made efforts to take responsibility beyond what’s expected of a VC. We are now making these efforts more explicit by gearing up to launch a holistically impact-aware strategy. Here's how we are taking the next step to building the VC fund of Tomorrow.
