We're excited to share that Nauta's 2025 ESG Report is now available! This year's report builds on the findings of our inaugural report in 2024 and shows progress across the portfolio, whilst setting long-term targets for the future.

2025 Highlights:

• We met or exceeded two of the three targets we set last year, missing the ambitious third target by only 4%
• For portfolio companies tracked over 12+ months, 68% of measured metrics improved
• The Nauta team continues to support ESG related activities in the wider VC ecosystem
• In Governance, the area we have the strongest influence as a shareholder, the portfolio performs very strongly:
  
  • 97% have data protection policies in place
  • 92% held at least quarterly board meetings in the last year
  • 88% monitor code of conduct on a regular basis

The growth reflects Nauta’s continued efforts to ensure companies in our portfolio grow sustainably and demonstrates the effect of having a responsible institutional investor on board at the early stage.

Looking ahead, we have decided to set ambitious targets over the long-term, focusing across all three pillars and reaching at least 75% of companies in the portfolio with a designated ESG leader appointed; a D&I policy; and energy efficiency measures in place.

Our targets are designed to have a lasting, meaningful impact across the ESG spectrum and for the future of the companies we invest in.
