This week, my guest is Tracy Barba, who is at the forefront of ESG in the venture capital industry – hence the name of her business, ESG 4VC.  She is one of the leading experts in the field, with nearly 20 years’ experience in impact investing and ESG globally, particularly in Europe and the US. Her career really follows the evolution of ESG in the startup landscape since her first move into impact investment in the early 2000s.

As the former head of ESG at early stage investor 500 Global, few people have a better insight into the state of ESG in the start up sector. She talks about the successes and challenges in getting wider adoption, the gap between Europe and the US and how progress in VC compares to Private Equity.

Such an interesting topic and a key part of the drive towards positive impact.
