ESG Policy

Introduction

Business Booster SGIC SA and its group companies (“Draper B1”) is dedicated to managing funds investing in technology-based companies, with a focus on investments in software companies. We believe that responsible investment requires a clear and continuing focus on proactive management of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors across all aspects of our business. This ESG Policy (the “Policy”) reflects the commitment Draper B1 has to responsible business and investing through the consideration and ongoing management of ESG factors, enhancing returns and creating long-term value for funds’ investors. 

As of the date of this ESG Policy, Draper B1 currently is focused on the following factors within our definition of ESG:

  • Environmental factors: the pollution and contamination of land, air and water, and related legal and regulatory compliance; eco-efficiency; waste management; management of scarce natural resources; climate change impacts; biodiversity; and the development of sustainable services.
  • Social factors: the treatment of employees including their pay; health and safety; labour conditions; human rights; any form of discrimination, harassment or victimization; diversity and inclusion, supply chain management; and the treatment of all stakeholders including customers and communities.
  • Governance factors: anti-bribery and corruption measures; business ethics; accountability; transparency; conflicts of interest; whistle-blowing; control mechanics; and the governance of environmental and social factors.

The ESG factors listed above are not exhaustive and Draper B1 will continue to re-visit, refine and add to the list. 

Draper B1’s investment decision-making and asset management practices seek to identify areas of risk and opportunity, including ESG factors, that may impact the value and performance of the investments we make. We believe that our businesses must act responsibly across all areas of their operations in order to preserve the trust of stakeholders. In this Policy we outline our approach to integrating ESG considerations into our investment decision-making and ongoing management of the investments, including the governance and oversight of our internal practices and those of our specialist service providers involved in assisting us to manage the assets. We also include our commitment to transparency and disclosure to our stakeholders..

This ESG Policy covers Draper B1’s own operations, as long as all Draper B1 staff are required to adhere to this ESG Policy and all Draper B1 funds.

Draper B1’s Approach to ESG

DraperB1 firmly believes that great companies can come from anywhere and that entrepreneurs are the gamechangers for a better world. Our purpose is to invest in companies that return profits but also create returns for society. 

But, as Early-stage investors, we believe that the ESG lens for Early-stage Investors begins with one word: intention. As companies grow, they naturally morph into a business with measurable environmental, social, and governance impact, and can deploy ESG measurement frameworks at that point.

We pursue the businesses we invest in to be focussed on doing well for all stakeholders including their  staff, customers, suppliers, shareholders, the environment and the wider world at large. We firmly believe that responsible business practices help generate superior long-term performance. 

For Draper B1, ESG is not just a screening process. The partners and investment teams at Draper B1 take an active interest in how our portfolio companies manage ESG issues and actively encourage, support and stretch our portfolio companies to strive for the very best ESG standards.

Draper B1’s Commitment to ESG 

ESG policy is embedded within Draper B1’s operations and across the investment cycle – from investment screening to due diligence, ownership and exit-. Our commitment includes:

  • Draper B1’s own operations: Draper B1 has established an ESG Team comprising of, at least,3 people: one partner, one employee from our Investment team and one employee from Backoffice or Finance. This team reports to the firm once a year and has responsibility for implementing this ESG Policy. Draper B1 provides staff with specific training and resources to help them fulfil the firm’s ESG commitments.
  • Embedding ESG within our investment process:

Pre-Investment: 

At the beginning of the journey, the DNA of the company’s purpose begins with the founders’ intention around the why and the how of the time machine they’re building. Understanding that intention is our way of forecasting the future environmental , social benefits and transparency in operations of the company.  In order to let our founders know about our ESG approach, and to ensure that they are going to make their best efforts to achieve it, a ESG clause- regulated in the pre-invetment Term-sheet- will be signed by founders as part of the Due Diligence process. 

Post-Closing

Shortly following the completion of each investment, Draper B1 will seek to support portfolio companies with improving their ESG performance as well as provide them with monitoring templates, other startups’ solutions and ESG workshops info.

  • Encouraging strong ESG engagement by portfolio companies: Draper B1 strongly encourages portfolio companies and the founders and CEOs we work with to actively engage with the ESG implications of their business activities. Our approach is adding value by using ESG factors to improve business practices. We provide to the CEOs of our portfolio companies  a Basic Letter of ESG Intentions and encourage them to share with the rest of their team. 
  • Monitoring and Encouraging Continuous Improvement: As part of the firm’s mission to partner with gamechangers and to help founders build category-winners, Draper B1’s investment team will also actively help founders to identify and respond to opportunities to further improve their ESG engagement on an on-going basis. We work with them to evaluate and measure their main ODS metrics and 

Engaging with our limited partners on ESG issues: Draper B1 aims to have broad transparency on ESG topics with the limited partners in the Draper B1 funds. To this end, Draper B1 proactively includes ESG information in our annual reports to our limited partners and shareholders. 

  • Engaging with wider stakeholders and Promoting diversity, inclusion and equality in the workplace

Diversity and Inclusion is embedded at the core of our organisation across all of our levers. Draper B1 is an equal opportunities employer and we respect the diversity of our people. Our aim is to attract, motivate, develop and retain a diverse and talented group of people while also providing a working environment that promotes both inclusion and equality.

Regarding the Workplace, Draper B1 is strongly working on the following points:

-Inclusion of flexible work policy, approving a fully remote work policy where employees.

-Partnering with DiversityVC to host internships annually.

-Partnering with YSYS and ColorinTech

  • Considering our environmental footprint: Draper B1 is conscious about the environmental impact of our day-to-day operations. We also commit to to climate change. In this way, Draper B1 has invested in Dcycle.io  in order to measure its own carbon footprint. The firm has also closed a partnership to messure all its portfolio companies’ footprint. 

Principal Adverse Impact Statement 

Draper B1 does not currently consider the principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors as set out under the European Union Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation 2019/2088 (“SFDR”) as the relevant supplemental framework and required information to assess such impacts have not been finalized yet. When the finalised Regulatory Technical Standards, supplementing the SFDR, are published and the rules are made sufficiently clear, Draper B1 intends to comply with the relevant requirements by developing processes to gather information on the sustainability impact of its portfolio companies and by undertaking a full principal adverse impact assessment. 

Approval

This ESG policy has been approved by the Draper B1 ESG Team and the firm’s Executive Committee.
