What other frameworks is the VCA developing?
The VCA will be developing two additional net zero frameworks later in 2024 that will complement the Portfolio Alignment Framework.
First, the Portfolio Engagement Framework will focus on a VC firm’s engagement activities to encourage portfolio companies to adopt net zero practices, as opposed to portfolio alignment which looks at the portfolio outcomes. This framework will be optional to use based on the VC firm’s investing style, but most likely used in scenarios where the VC firm has limited control or influence.
The second Climate Solutions Framework will be designed for climate investors to measure and grow the impact of climate solutions.
