Eka Ventures Sustainability Actions

Discussed SFDR simplifications

Earlier this week (Nov 20th), the European Commission announced simplifications to its Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) regime announced in Nov ‘19 (implemented in Mar ‘21). The key changes announced last week include (1) simplified disclosures & (2) a clear categorisation system.

Outlined new ESG categories

There are three new categories for financial products making ESG claims: Sustainable category, Transition category, and ESG basics category. Products would need to ensure that >70% of their portfolios supports the chosen bucket, and exclude all their investments in harmful industries and activities.

Published climate adaptation ideas

For the past few weeks, Estia Ryan (Head of Research at Eka Ventures) and Peter Havers have been asking: “How?” Their initial thoughts were published in Eka’s latest newsletter, suggesting that healthcare organisations should start investing (strategically) in climate adaptation tech.

Backed deeptech translation

Marvelous was founded to address the problem of insufficient transfer of the excellent research in Europe into the industrial pilot phase. The Joachim Herz Stiftung is now setting an important signal with an initial €20M commitment to the Marvelous Scito Fund.

Joined venture growth forum

AENU joins 23 other leading venture & growth funds to launch the German Venture & Growth Forum, and to publish the German Venture & Growth Playbook: a practical framework for mobilizing private capital into the next generation of European champions.
