2023 was a year of many firsts: The first time we did a full carbon footprint, set a internal carbon fee, the first time we did an industry specific materiality mapping and the first time we offered an interactive sustainability report.

We now use these new tools to provide portfolio wide support and build industry wide collaboration as exemplified in this chapter. We’re incredibly happy to see the industry materiality thinking picked up by VentureESG and the great interest that the Milkywire climate transformation fund is getting.

At the same time, we see much room for improvement. Next year, we look forward to being even more action oriented in our mapping and support. We seek to tie our team closer to the climate work being done by Milkywire and we kick off the year with a session on mental wellbeing and personal growth. Can’t wait to share it with you!
