We're excited to share that Nauta's 2026 ESG report is now available! This year's report builds on the findings of our second annual report in 2025 and shows progress across the portfolio against all three pillars and our ambitious long-term targets for 2027.

2026 Highlights:

• For portfolio companies tracked over 12+ months, 69% of measured metrics improved or stayed the same
• We are on track to meet the ambitious long-term targets we set for 2027 across all three pillars of ESG
• 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 continues to perform very strongly:
  
  • 100% have data protection policies in place
  • 100% hold D&O insurance
  • 94% have a cybersecurity policy in place or in progress

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.

Last year, we decided to set ambitious targets for 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. We are on track to meet these by Q1 2027.

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