We are proud to partner with Energize Capital on ESG and impact data management. The 2024 Impact & ESG Performance Report outlines their leading strategy to invest in scalable software solutions that accelerate the sustainability transition. Report takeaways to highlight 🌎: - Impact ≠ ESG: Impact is the environmental and social outcome created by your product. ESG is about how you run your company. Energize ESG engagement helps portfolio companies build sustainable operations, more diverse teams, and good governance. - ESG Maturity Curve: Energize has identified the ESG issues most material to their companies and defined what "good" looks like throughout company development. For example, good ESG strategy management would mean an ESG point person for an early stage venture but would mean an ESG working group for a late stage company. - Don’t go it alone: Energize leverages solutions like Metric and Patch to accelerate their data collection, insights, and action. To build an ecosystem, their team is a member of VentureESG, reports to EDCI, and has launched the Climate Tech Impact & ESG working group with Activate Capital. #ClimateTech #SustainableInnovation #ESG #ImpactInvesting
