Hi everyone,

 

Harvard Business Review released a great, actionable article on why startups need an ESG strategy early-on.

 

The full resource is found here.

 

Some key takeaways:

 

1. Clarifying your impact may be aided by answering the question "what would the world miss if my startup disappeared?"

2.  Your data can be your purpose friend or enemy - ratings organizations like Human Rights Watch dock companies that do not have clear data integrity and security practices. 

3. Only 7% of startups have a net-zero carbon strategy - this could be a differentiator for you as you pursue impact investments and/or growth funding. 

 

Happy reading, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Tim
