Objectives:
The Fund’s sustainability objective is to help accelerate the transition to a net zero economy by providing catalytic capital to early-stage companies that have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, or contribute to the fight against climate change. The Fund invests in early-stage companies that are developing innovative technologies or solutions to make the products or deliver the services that we all need, but in a significantly more carbon efficient way (see criteria below).
The outcome that the Fund is pursuing is a measurable long-term reduction in the atmosphere’s GHG concentration, as a result of the commercial activity of its portfolio companies, compared to a ‘business as usual’ scenario in which the portfolio companies would not have developed and commercialised their products and services.
Sustainable, Responsible
&/or ESG Overview:
The Green Angel Ventures Climate Change Fund is a Sustainability Impact-labelled, evergreen EIS/SEIS fund investing alongside the Green Angel Syndicate in a diversified portfolio of 10-15 early-stage climate innovation companies. Its sustainability objective is to accelerate the transition to net zero by providing catalytic capital to businesses whose technologies can reduce or remove GHG emissions or otherwise contribute to climate mitigation/adaptation across sectors such as energy, buildings, transport, industry, food and agriculture.
Investments must have climate impact as a core purpose, not an incidental by-product, and are screened for direct or facilitating impact, potential negative environmental/social outcomes, and continued mission alignment through stewardship.
The financial aim is to achieve £3 for each £1 invested, equivalent to a 20% IRR after EIS tax relief and fees, by selecting high-growth companies, diversifying exposure, supporting portfolio growth and seeking exits over 5-10 years.

Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy:
The strategy invests in early-stage climate solutions under the FCA Sustainability Impact label, targeting companies whose core purpose is to reduce/remove GHG emissions or enable climate mitigation/adaptation. Themes include energy, built environment, transport, industry, food/agriculture, water/nature resilience, AI, materials innovation and engineering/deeptech.
Assets are selected only where climate impact is central and significant: direct solutions must show material quantified GHG impact versus business-as-usual; facilitating solutions must enable net-zero transition or environmental monitoring. The Fund avoids companies where sustainability is merely incidental, and screens for potential negative environmental/social outcomes.
No external index is referenced; impact assessment is in-house, informed by Project Frame and reviewed by ESG Accord. Stewardship includes board/information rights, portfolio monitoring, management engagement and follow-on funding discipline to keep companies aligned to their climate mission, support scale-up and maximise intended outcomes: commercial success and measurable long-term reductions in atmospheric GHG concentrations.
Process:
GAV applies an in-house climate-impact assessment, informed by Project Frame rather than an external index.
Step 1: at application, each company must explain its expected positive impact.
Step 2: at due diligence, the Investment Team tests environmental claims and supporting sources.
Step 3: after successful diligence, the Investment Committee reviews climate impact and decides whether the company meets the Fund’s investment standard.
Step 4: post-investment, GAV monitors and reports impact.
The core KPI is GHG emissions avoided or removed:
- For direct solutions, expected impact is assessed against a business-as-usual baseline using “potential” impact (unit impact × SOM) or “planned” impact (unit impact × forecast volumes).
- For facilitating solutions, GAV tracks relevant KPIs such as pollution avoided, water preserved and ecosystem protection/restoration.
Data sources include company data, government emissions databases, public-agency reports, academic papers and monetary-to-GHG proxies. Assets are avoided where impact claims are unsubstantiated or negative environmental/social outcomes are unacceptable.

This strategy is helping to shift the dial from brown to green by...
...backing early-stage companies whose core products can replace or decarbonise high-emitting processes across energy, buildings, transport, industry, food and agriculture. Rather than merely avoiding harmful sectors, the Fund provides catalytic capital and stewardship to scale commercially competitive climate solutions. Investments are screened for material GHG impact and mission alignment, with progress evidenced by 280,521 tCO2e of cumulative avoided emissions reported by the CCF portfolio at 30 June 2025.
SDR Labelling:
Sustainability Impact label
Key Performance Indicators:
GAV uses a robust, evidence-based framework aligned to the Fund’s Sustainability Impact objective. The core KPI is impact on atmospheric GHG concentrations, measured as GHG emissions avoided or removed.
For direct solutions, investability requires significant expected impact: either a large unit reduction, e.g. 50%+ cut, or applicability to a high-emissions market. Impact is calculated versus a business-as-usual baseline using current factors/realistic assumptions and best available carbon-intensity estimates; at-scale impact follows Project Frame “potential” impact (unit impact × SOM) or “planned” impact (unit impact × forecast volumes).
For facilitating solutions, KPIs will include pollution avoided, water preserved/flood-protected area, and ecosystems preserved/restored.
Evidence sources include company data, government emissions databases, public agency reports, academic papers and GHG proxies.
Progress is reported annually: by 30 June 2025 the Climate Change Fund portfolio had delivered 280,521 tCO2e cumulative avoided; 15/39 companies were contributing.
