Download the ESG_VC Framework
ESG_VC has developed a venture-ready ESG measurement framework, which asks early-stage companies to answer 48 measures against ESG objectives.
Designed to provide an entry to ESG scoring, the framework can be easily implemented from Seed to Growth stage, across companies spanning B2B and B2C sectors, resulting in a tangible ESG score and a list of key areas to address to improve ESG performance.
To access the framework, please register using the form below and we’ll send through a copy along with instructions on how to get started with your benchmarking.

"ESG_VC was founded with a singular focus: to enable early-stage companies to improve their ESG performance."
Kate Glazebrook
Blackbird Ventures
"One of the major benefits of this project is that it reduces the workload for portfolio companies, who only need to complete the one survey that they can send to all their participating investors, while providing a greater depth of data across each of the E, S and G metrics."

Honestly the @framer publish time is insanely fast. Just published 2 weeks of changes in 5 seconds – like it’s almost too fast for such a big moment.
Harriet Dwyer
Airtree Ventures
“Our industry is on a journey to map and manage the impact of our businesses in a way that works for VC and startups and doing it with our peers has given Airtree greater surety, insight and actionable data. Being able to understand where our portfolio companies sit on ESG, both against the rest of our portfolio and the ANZ VC community more broadly, has been very valuable for us, for our founders and for our LPs.”

A quick word about @framer. Framer is forever changing the experience of designing for the web. Forget about a design tool. Once you get the basics, you're not on a design tool anymore. You're creating your product/story in the medium itself. As friendly & powerful as it is.

Sundrive
"The questionnaire served as a valuable roadmap for our company’s sustainability efforts. By meticulously evaluating the questions, we were
able to identify key areas requiring focus and establish a prioritised action plan encompassing various aspects of ESG practices. This process not only illuminated areas for immediate improvement but also provided foresight into potential future areas of development."

I have been in a @framer rabbit hole for the past 6 hours without even noticing as time goes by — its everything I love in Figma combined with everything I love in Webflow. I am in love.
