Sophisticated data analytics tools are emerging to better measure, track, and report on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of portfolio companies, moving beyond qualitative assessments.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) (2021)
The SFDR, implemented in 2021, categorizes financial products based on their sustainability ambition (Article 6, 8, 9) and imposes transparency requirements on financial market participants regarding their ESG-related practices and the sustainability characteristics of their financial products.
Newfund Capital, as an EU-based VC firm with a strong ESG focus, is directly impacted by SFDR, requiring detailed disclosure of its ESG integration processes and classification of its funds to attract and retain LPs seeking sustainable investments.
Digital Services Act (DSA) (2022) & Digital Markets Act (DMA) (2022)
The DSA and DMA, enacted in 2022, aim to create a safer and fairer digital space in the EU by regulating online platforms, combating illegal content, and ensuring fair competition among digital gatekeepers.
While not directly regulating VC, these acts impact the operational environment and market opportunities for many digital startups in Newfund's portfolio, particularly those in SaaS and B2B solutions, influencing their compliance costs and market strategies.
French 'Loi PACTE' (2019) on Company Purpose and Social Responsibility
The PACTE law in France encourages companies to define a 'raison d'être' (purpose) in their statutes and allows them to become 'sociétés à mission' (mission-driven companies), integrating social and environmental objectives alongside profit.
This law aligns with Newfund's ESG investment philosophy, potentially increasing the pool of mission-driven French startups seeking funding and providing a legal framework that reinforces their commitment to impact.
