Carolin, our Investor, Head of ESG & General Partner, is continuously developing our own strategy, and looking at ways for Cusp Capital and our portfolio companies to turn ESG challenges into opportunities.

Building a future-proof sustainable company requires the three non-negotiables behind the acronym of „ESG”:

  • Environment: Respecting nature and our ecosystem

  • Social: Protecting workers' and consumers’ rights

  • Governance: Implementing effective policies, procedures, and processes

From our perspective, visionary companies follow the “Genius of the AND” approach, embracing all (material) ESG dimensions simultaneously. That is why we help our portfolio companies not just talk the talk but walk the talk by:

We track a variety of ESG KPIs that are in line with relevant standards from the EU, i.e. Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) or from large institutional investors.

To address the different challenges in the field of ESG and in order to ensure we evaluate sustainability characteristics as accurately as possible, we leverage the extensive technological and subject-matter expertise through our ESG platform provider Atlas Metrics.
