In this chapter we pick up our own sustainability reporting and dig deeper into some of the most material themes for the portfolio. In our reporting, we wanted to go beyond the traditional reports (that are often only read by other sustainability practitioners) and instead present an interactive solution where companies and investors could filter our results including by stage (seed, A, B etc). This worked out quite well and we got plenty of questions on how we designed the report, how we work with industry materiality maps and how we use the mapping to support the portfolio.
To exemplify the latter, this chapter includes deep dives on two of the most material areas identified in the report: Technology risk and Diversity. Here, we build on the insights of our two portfolio companies - Ravio and Red Points - as well as bring in expert collaborators Kasey Chapelle and Apiday.
Hope you enjoy this packed, rather technical chapter. Next time, its all about inner growth, mental health and personal leadership… Namaste.
