The European Innovation Council (EIC) Board has recently published its recommendations on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) policy, outlining a strategic approach to responsible deep tech innovation.
As one of the EU’s largest deep tech investors, the EIC aims to leverage its position to catalyse the integration of ESG principles within the European deep tech sector.
The Board’s key recommendations include:
- The EIC should take a leading role in promoting responsible deep tech innovation, using its position to catalyse the integration of ESG principles within the deep tech sector.
- The EIC should play a catalyst role in aligning reporting requirements for early-stage companies, making it easier for them to adopt ESG practices and ensure transparency.
- A comprehensive ESG policy will enhance the EIC’s reputation as a leader in responsible deep tech innovation, attracting capital from like-minded investors and stakeholders.
- By incorporating ESG principles into its investments, the EIC will ensure that its portfolio companies are resilient and future-proof, securing long-term value and success.
