At Endeavour Vision, we believe that good business means making investments that consider the wider impact on society and the environment to deliver positive social and financial returns.
By backing innovation that aspires to transform healthcare, our investments naturally have positive societal impacts. We go beyond this by considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors at every stage of the investment cycle and working with our portfolio companies to develop their sustainability practices. We achieve this through “ESG health checks” where we objectively assess a company’s ESG performance and help to guide it towards continual improvement.
ESG Whitepaper series:
Understanding ESG and healthcare innovation
Our whitepaper series takes a deep dive into what ESG is, why it matters, and how to put ESG into practice. Authored by members of our team, the series takes investors and leaders of early- to growth-stage healthcare companies on an “ESG journey” – sharing our key learnings and best practices for employing ESG strategies.
Resources for growth-stage healthcare technology companies
The work to support our portfolio companies in developing their sustainability practices has led to the collection and development of resources that are freely available to any early- and growth-stage company interested in this topic.
