Enable companies
on the cusp
to create value
sustainably
Carolin, our Investor & Head of ESG, 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:
introducing & sensitizing to the ESG topic
defining an ESG Roadmap
navigating the complex regulatory landscape
measuring an monitoring key ESG metrics
establishing ESG reporting and analyses
implementing governance structures allowing the company to scale
Reporting
& Monitoring
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.
