EP 72 - Lauren Blasco, AC Ventures and Neels Steyn, BCG Digital Ventures - How Effectively Does a Group of Companies Turn Resources Into Positive Impact?
In the latest episode of Impact at Scale, we are talking to Lauren Blasco who is a Principal for ESG at AC Ventures and Neels Steyn Venture Architect Director at BCG Digital Ventures. They are the authors of Scaling Impact With Technology. Accelerating ESG Adoption in Indonesia's Digital Economy, a report that aims to be the baseline for how Indonesian tech companies measure their impact. The report looks at a wider range of issues than just one's carbon footprint when allocating a score to a company.
In a region where many companies see little value in ESG reporting, this is meant to be used as a guide for the future as sentiments and requirements change. AC Ventures applied this methodology to all of its invested startups, none of which were sustainability-focused companies, to see what their impact as a business was. The hope is that this will become as regular as reviewing financial accounts in the future as businesses are being held to higher standards by both the public and investors.
