At the forefront of the green transition
We actively work to be on the right side of history through our investment choices, value creation approach, and institutional investor partnerships.
We believe that sustainable growth will be a structural growth opportunity similar to digital technology – a theme permeating every sector of the economy and society.
Respecting people and the planet is part of our company identity. We pledged to neutralise all our residual scope 1-3 greenhouse gas emissions through engineered, permanent carbon removal. We want to lead by example. To our knowledge, no other firm in our industry globally has undertaken a similar initiative.

Impact matters to us
Innovative use of technology will be the single most important component in reducing the resource intensity of our economies. As investors in growing tech companies, our strategy has been built around this theme since our founding.
