Impact Measurement ESG SFDR
Overview
ImpactNexus, a Berlin-based company serving 50+ funds and accelerators and over a thousand companies, combines ESG risk assessment with genuine impact measurement — quantifying a startup's positive environmental contribution via comparative lifecycle-based GHG estimation, not just tracking policy checkboxes. SFDR and CSRD automation claims up to 80% compliance-cost savings, and its Nexus database standardizes metrics across portfolios. A fit for impact-labeled VC funds that must prove the label.
