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.

Targets

  1. Discussion of ESG opportunities and risks in at least one board meeting during FY25 across 75%+ of In-Scope Portfolio Companies*.
  2. All voting IC members to engage with one In-Scope Portfolio Company* to (i) conduct an ESG performance deep-dive, and (ii) perform a formal evaluation of Board effectiveness.
  3. Engage with 75%+ of key recurring suppliers to assess climate maturity and alignment to the Net Zero transition.
  4. Improve portfolio climate literacy and alignment to Net Zero through targeted engagement with five mature In-Scope Portfolio Companies*.

'In-Scope Portfolio Companies' means directly held portfolio companies on which Molten Ventures plc holds a board seat and which represents not less than £3m of NAV to the Company as at 1 April 2024 (c.74% by value of the directly held portfolio as at 1 April 2024).

We achieved five of seven of our FY24 ESG KPIs, the details of which are located in our FY24 Sustainability Report.
