At Emilia Capital, we care deeply about our world. We want to make it better today and ensure it remains a thriving place for future generations. That’s why sustainability is at the core of our investment philosophy. We actively seek out companies that contribute to sustainable solutions, whether by addressing environmental challenges or improving other vital aspects of life.
What is sustainability?
The concept of sustainability was beautifully defined in 1987 by the United Nations Brundtland Commission as:
“Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Sustainability is about balance. It requires an integrated approach that considers environmental concerns alongside economic and social development. Often referred to as the three pillars of sustainability, these dimensions include:
1. Environmental: Tackling climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
2. Economic: Fostering growth that benefits everyone sustainably.
3. Social: Ensuring equity, opportunity, and well-being for all people.
While many definitions focus on the environmental aspect, we take a broader view—one that encompasses solutions to improve life in multiple dimensions.
How we define sustainability
For us, sustainability isn’t just “going green.” It’s about driving progress that benefits people and the planet. Our investments reflect this holistic approach:
Environmental Impact
We’re proud to support companies directly addressing environmental challenges. We’re always looking at new investment opportunities in this area. We’re very proud to be an investor in Peerby, a platform that encourages sharing tools and utilities among neighbors, reducing waste and fostering community connections.
Ethical and Social Progress
Beyond the environment, we back companies that create responsible, equitable solutions for society such as Deeploy. Deeploy is an AI platform that ensures machine learning models are ethical, transparent, and explainable. With that, companies are able to use AI and create reliable tools for important decisions in healthcare, finance, and more.
Our commitment to sustainability
We are excited to grow our portfolio with more companies that embody sustainability in all its forms. Whether it’s through cutting-edge technology, community-driven initiatives, or innovative solutions for global challenges, we’re committed to making a lasting impact.
At Emilia Capital, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a commitment to building a better, fairer, and greener future for everyone.
