Decarbonising our businesses

We are deeply involved with the measurement, management and reduction of emissions by our portfolio companies, especially our majority-owned investments.

Our strategy for decarbonising our businesses is rooted in deep involvement with our investee companies and has three pillars:

1. We map the environmental impact of each portfolio company and its extended value chain. We onboard all majority-owned portfolio companies on a GHG data management tool and train and support them on GHG accounting and reporting.
2. We support investee companies to identify reduction opportunities, ultimately implementing a GHG reduction pathway spanning multi-year targets.
3. In collaboration with our venture business and investees, we are working to identify scalable technology and partnerships supporting individual decarbonisation pathways.

By centrally managing this data and providing in-depth support on the correct mapping of the GHG footprints, we ensure high-quality data, we can apply group-wide learnings, we increase the understanding of the risks and opportunities related to decarbonisation, and we accelerate the progress of our portfolio companies towards independent management of their carbon footprint.
