How do Venture Capitalists From a Small Market Consider Environmental, Social and Governance Factors in Their Investment Decision? /Ana Catarina Mendes de Carvalho. - 1 electronic resource (59 pages)

While Europe is leading in sustainable finance, Portugal, a small economy, lags even though it is progressing. Since there is a growing trend related to incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations in Venture Capitalists' (VCs) investment decisions, this study seeks to address a significant gap in the literature and knowledge in this area by trying to understand how VCs in Portugal consider ESG factors through interviewing eleven industry experts. ESG considerations are a complex and controversial topic, which explains the different levels at which Portuguese VCs integrate ESG factors into their investment decisions. While some consider these aspects to be crucial and use ESG frameworks to evaluate potential investments, others believe the topic is overvalued and note that most startups already take these principles into account. The main drivers of ESG integration among interviewed VCs' representatives are market trends, legislation, investor pressure, ESG's benefits, and the fact that those factors align with the firm's values. Although not all VCs use formal ESG frameworks, many implicitly exclude harmful businesses and industries. VCs also highlighted the importance of the Social and Governance factors. They acknowledged the relevance of ESG throughout the entire investment process, with some emphasising it in the early stages, such as Opportunity Identification and Due Diligence. Challenges of ESG integration include startups' immature state, as they struggle to capture and measure ESG indicators accurately, the lack of a standardised ESG framework, the conflict between potential returns and ESG considerations, and complex legislation. The benefits mentioned are market acceptance, enhanced value propositions, the attraction of investors, top talent, clients and better commercial contracts, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and promoting innovative, sustainable solutions that positively impact financial returns.

520 $a Apesar de a Europa liderar o mercado das financas sustentaveis, Portugal, uma pequena economia, esta atrasado, ainda que esteja a progredir. Tendo em conta a crescente tendencia para a incorporacao de consideracoes Ambientais, Sociais e de Governacao (ASG) nas decisoes de investimento dos investidores de Capital de Risco (CR), este estudo procura colmatar uma lacuna significativa na literatura e no conhecimento nesta area, tentando compreender como e que os investidores de CR em Portugal consideram estes fatores atraves de entrevistas a onze especialistas do sector. As consideracoes ASG sao um tema complexo e controverso, o que explica os diferentes niveis em que os investidores de CR portugueses integram os fatores ASG nas suas decisoes de investimento. Enquanto alguns os consideram cruciais e utilizam quadros ASG para avaliar potenciais investimentos, outros acreditam que o topico e sobrevalorizado e constatam que a maioria das startups ja tem em conta estes principios. Os principais impulsionadores da integracao de ASG entre os entrevistados sao as tendencias do mercado, a legislacao, a pressao dos investidores, os seus beneficios e o facto de estes fatores se alinharem com os valores da empresa. Embora nem todas as Sociedades de CR utilizem abordagens formais de ASG, muitas excluem empresas e sectores prejudiciais. Estes investidores tambem destacam a importancia dos fatores sociais e de governacao e reconheceram a relevancia dos fatores ASG ao longo de todo o processo de investimento, tendo alguns realcado a sua consideracao em fases iniciais, como a Identificacao de Oportunidades e a Due Diligence. Entre os desafios a integracao dos fatores ESG, referem o estado imaturo das startups, pois exibem dificuldades em captar e medir com exatidao os indicadores ASG, a falta de um quadro ASG estandardizado, o conflito entre estas consideracoes e potenciais retornos e a complexidade da legislacao. Os beneficios mencionados sao a aceitacao pelo mercado, o fortalecimento das propostas de valor, a atracao de investidores, talento de topo, clientes e melhores contratos comerciais, conformidade regulamentar, a mitigacao de riscos e a promocao de solucoes inovadoras e sustentaveis que tem um impacto positivo nos retornos financeiros.
