ESG in SpaceTech

Generation Space

Show Notes

In this episode we’ll be looking at how SpaceTech can help transform the way we monitor measure and report on ESG metrics and how Seraphim created an ESG policy to allow us to invest in world changing companies. This was developed to ensure all the Trust's existing and future portfolio company investments not only limit any negative impacts but also help space-tech companies reach net zero before government targets.

The embedding of ESG requirements mean companies need to better understand everything from emissions to biodiversity, from water use to health and safety – and a whole lot more. Earth observation data is already incredibly detailed and improving all the time. EO data is crucial for companies to achieve their ESG goals. Find out more from the experts COO Sarah Shackleton and CIO James Bruegger.
