Our impact goals
Our impact due diligence
We map and track climate private equity funds globally based on our proprietary climate impact assessment and financial diligence. Only 5% of climate funds we've scanned have made it onto our platform.
We’ve defined all the aspects of quality (fund) impact investing. Our proprietary scorecard benchmarks a fund against the global best practices in each aspect. Our scorecard consists of 6 themes, 12 topics and 40 questions, all geared toward assessing the quality with which climate impact has been integrated into a fund.
For each fund, we assess how big their potential contribution to net zero is. To do so, we analyze its past investments against the best decarbonization pathways, including those of the IEA, Drawdown, IRENA and the EU taxonomy. Per investment, we assess how relevant it is to building our net zero future.
Here, we ensure funds invest in companies that follow good environmental, social and governance practices because we don’t want to create other problems on our way to net zero. We expect most of the funds we select to be classified as Article 8 or Article 9 under the SFDR.
Exceptional funds have strong processes in place, high-quality teams, a clear competitive advantage, proven value-adds for companies and the consistent ability to deliver strong returns. The more our investments grow, the larger the impact (and returns) will be.

Investments into private equity have a long horizon (exceeding 10 years) with no or limited liquidity. If you cannot afford to potentially lose your full investment, it is best not to invest. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Investing in a private equity fund is not comparable to a deposit with a bank."
