Sustainability
At Molten, we advance society through technological innovation; we do so by funding and championing innovative tech companies, delivering robust financial returns alongside strong sustainability credentials.
Not only this, but we believe in practising what we preach and strive to demonstrate best practices in sustainability, in our own operations. Our Sustainability Policy sets out our approach in more detail.
Our Sustainability Principles
Innovation & Ambition
A model to do things differently and better. We help our entrepreneurs to change the world with our depth of experience, expertise and drive.
Collaboration & Community
We’re a team of teams working with our community and stakeholders to get the best results and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. It’s always a group effort.
Honesty & Integrity
Trust is built on doing the right thing for the right reasons. We act with integrity and give it straight, even when it isn’t easy to hear.
Long-term & Accountability
The long-term future requires action and accountability now. Our evergreen outlook allows us to see the bigger picture. Our governance structures keep us aligned and accountable to our long-term values and goals.
Inclusivity & Diversity
We embrace our differences to build a better, fairer future for all. We seek the brightest and the best, regardless of race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
Sustainability in Action
Targets
- Introduce assessment of positive environmental and/or social impact of prospective investments as part of Sustainability analysis in IC papers.
- Ensure consistent tracking and reporting of pipeline diversity data and present this for discussion at dealflow meetings no less than bi-annually.
- Conduct an internal assessment of sustainability-related risks and opportunities for 75%+ of In-Scope Portfolio Companies* and use the output to establish an action plan for those companies for whom material risks are identified, where this is aligned to wider commercial objectives.
- Deliver the next phase of the Company’s Culture Project Roadmap focusing on People and Performance by way of continuation of the output of last year’s associated FY25 Strategic KPI.
'In-Scope Portfolio Companies’ means directly held portfolio companies on which Molten Ventures plc holds a board seat and which represents not less than £3 million of NAV to the Company as at 31 March for the previous financial year.
We achieved all four of our FY25 ESG KPIs, the details of which are located in our FY25 Sustainability Report [coming soon].
