Turning Impact into Value: How Can We Quantify Sustainability in a Commercial World?
As sustainability moves from the margins to the mainstream, the challenge for investors and founders alike is clear: how do we quantify sustainability impacts in a way that is both robust and commercially relevant?
In this 45-minute deep dive, Marvelous DeepTech VC and the Equinor Ventures invite corporate venture capitalists, VC investors, LPs, and startup founders to jointly explore this critical theme. Together, we will:
Engage with top-tier CVC and VC representatives on how they evaluate impact and link it to expected value creation.
Get insights into leading frameworks for sustainability quantification, and discuss their limitations.
Ask tough questions about impact measurement, and challenge each other on how to move beyond reporting- and compliance-driven ESG metrics.
Debate how to square the circle when true sustainability impacts don’t neatly align with financial returns or regulatory requirements.
This session is designed as an open and interactive dialogue — a chance to share your own approaches, pressure-test assumptions, and collaborate across the investor–founder ecosystem on what it takes to make sustainability metrics truly matter in a commercial world.
