Have you measured your ESG score lately? Should you care? Well, if you are startup or a scaleup, your ESG score, such as your product or service’s adherence to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is likely to impact your business’s ability to fundraise and grow.

Although it seems ESG’s rise to the top of the news agenda was swift, focus on its fundamental elements – Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance – are nothing new. Previously understood through the term ‘CSR’ or corporate social responsibility, many agree that ESG is merely the newest edition in a constant rebrand of the same principles. And in extreme cases, it’s considered a deceptive way of boosting corporate reputation: a guise distracting the industry from a lack of action being taken.

Almost all VCs as well as more established funds have created portfolios for which ESG factors have been integrated into the investment process, and that’s great news for society and the planet.

For 2022 and beyond, we’re seeing four major trends that we believe will garner interest in the ESG investing community.

As the war in Ukraine rages, finance professionals on Wall Street and in Europe recently attracted outrage by suggesting that investing in arms manufacturers should be treated as ethical investing. In the fight against tyranny, they argued that such an investment “preserves peace and global stability” and defends “the values of liberal democracies”. As such, it belongs in the increasingly lucrative investment category known as ESG or environmental, social and governance.
