Environmental, Social, & Governance (“ESG”)

We understand that our activities have an impact on the environment and on the people and communities where our portfolio companies operate. We believe the planet and society are better served by supporting a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive venture ecosystem, and that engaging with a broad set of investment criteria that includes environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations mitigates risk and helps to capture long-term value. Navigate Ventures has made a commitment to incorporate ESG principles in the way we behave by developing our guidelines. We endeavor to be a forward-looking, responsible owner and a partner to all the stakeholders with whom we work, including employees, customers, suppliers, management teams, board members, industrial advisers, and society at large. We are cognizant of issues around labor compensation and gender diversity.  We respect and understand the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). However, we are not yet a signatory but aim to incorporate all relevant environmental, social, and governance principles into our investment analysis, decision-making processes, ownership policies, and practices. We are a member of Pledge LA, NVCA, and Venture Forward #VCHumanCapital Pledge.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues impact the communities where Navigate Ventures and our portfolio companies operate. Navigate Ventures recognizes this and commits to incorporate ESG principles in the way we behave. Navigate Venture’s ESG guideline was developed in alignment with the requirements of the UN Global Compact’s principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations as well as the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
