Northzone is a VC firm that invests across multiple sectors across Europe and the US. As impact and sustainability rise in importance around us, we see it as a natural and important development of our journey to integrate these more profoundly into our operations. When doing so, we want to make sure that we use our collective experience and build upon industry learnings to steer away from tick-box exercises and foster real, impactful practices.
During the fall of 2022, we conducted a strategic overview aimed at prioritising our coming sustainability efforts. The overview followed the idea of a Double Materiality Analysis but adapted to our setting and industry. This first Chapter summarises how we tailored the process and our main findings.
