Whilst we continue to be amazed by the innovative and beautiful products created with #nextgen materials, the health of the planet is what’s truly at stake. The race to innovate needs to keep end-of-life in focus. If the product can’t biodegrade or be remade, it might not be the best solution. Kudos to the valiant efforts being made around the world, but let’s not lose sight of our collective goal, a healthy planet. 🌏 FUTUREVVORLD 3-YEAR ANNIVERSARY 🌏 ---> Committed to embracing our mission as the antithesis to hype culture and a hub for Earth-friendlier projects. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gAcrMb3B

Key Highlights from 2022 Icos Impact 🌱 Our partners have recently received the 2022 Icos Impact Report and we're delighted to also share a few highlights with our wider network. Here are some of the considerations: 🌏 Icos has 3 areas of sustainable focus in investments: climate change, circular economy and biodiversity. 🌏 We look at the impact potential for each of these in terms of how much they move the needle on a global scale. For example, within CO2e impact, what the potential is relative to global annual emissions. 🌏 Our impact analysis is across our 4 investment themes: Food Systems, Chemicals & Materials, Sustainable Industry and Decarbonisation. And some of the highlights: 👫 54% of portfolio companies have women or people from a minority background in their founding team. 👷♀️ 251 full-time opportunities have been made across the portfolio. 🌲 1.71 Mt of CO2e has been removed/reduced/avoided in the portfolio to date. ♻️ 5 companies in the portfolio use a sidestream as a feedstock in their process. We are looking forward to seeing this impact amplified in the years to come.

🌎 Fresh from #ClimateWeekNYC, Sofinnova's Joško Bobanović, Partner in our Industrial Biotech Strategy, shared some key takeaways: 🌱 The optimism in the air was palpable — marked by high ambitions, innovative solutions, and genuine commitment from everyone we connected with. 🕐 Yet, the clock is ticking. It's time to shift from pilot programs and experiments to full-scale deployments. As we look at the ambitious goals set for 2030, 2040, and 2050, there are concerns about adjustments to these milestones — a thought that warrants attention. 🚧 The primary hurdle? A landscape filled with overwhelming uncertainty, from regulations to carbon markets, which hinders many potential game-changers. A solid framework is crucial for substantial investment. For a #NetZero future, we must accelerate our efforts and keep up the momentum. With the power of innovation, science, and collective resolve, we stand at the forefront of #ClimateAction. At Sofinnova, our mission remains unchanged: investing in science to foster a more sustainable, brighter future for all. We are driven by our commitment to the planet and its people, always. #ClimateWeekReflections 🍃 https://hubs.ly/Q023n6FR0
