Shaping
the future together

Sustainability is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and startups are the frontrunners when it comes to innovative solutions. We have been investing in sustainable startups since 2005 and have firmly integrated ESG measures into our processes since 2019. 

ESG Due Dilligence

open/close

Before investing, we review our exclusion list and the potential impact of your startup together. The process is streamlined and tailored to the early phase. 

ESG expertise for implementation 

open/close

After the investment, we support you with sessions in the HTGF Academy and our ESG team to set up your company sustainably from the outset. 

ESG Reporting 

open/close

We help you to collect relevant data for your annual ESG reporting so that you can present yourself transparently and convincingly to customers and investors. 

„As an investor, we believe that long-term success is only possible if the impact of technologies and business models are considered from the start and managed responsibly.”
