This presents the world’s biggest challenge and it is something that SV has been addressing since 2011. We believe in the power of commercial innovation to address the twin challenges of climate change and resource scarcity.

We enable start-ups to deliver increased impact. Sustainable Ventures recognises that addressing the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity through commercial innovation is a complex task, involving actors from across all sectors, industries, and governments.
We are privileged to work with hundreds of companies developing solutions that promote prosperity while protecting the planet.
A wide range of solutions are being developed by these companies spanning multiple market sectors, from energy generation through to sustainable food supply. The contribution against the UN Sustainable Development Goals - using the IRIS+ framework developed by the Global Impact Investing Network (GINN) &ndash; is most meaningful when analysed at the individual company level.
