Top Findings
Positive Developments
- EUR 471m committed to 27 VC funds in 2023, above 2022 levels
- 67% of portfolio funds classified as SFDR Article 8 or 9
- 100% of fund managers have an ESG policy; ESG integrated into due diligence since 2021
Risks
- ESG data quality remains limited, self-reported and not externally assured
- Fund manager emissions data is incomplete, especially Scope 3 financed emissions
- Female representation remains low at senior levels: 15% of fund partners and 14.6% of board seats
Opportunities
- Harmonised Invest Europe reporting can improve comparability and reduce reporting burden
- Climate-focused facilities and impact investing programmes can deepen environmental and social impact
- Emerging Manager Facility can widen access for smaller, gender-diverse VC teams
Data Gaps
- Report relies on participant-provided data with no independent external review
- Indicator coverage varies widely by reporting level and response rate
- No causal analysis yet; limited time series data constrains trend assessment
