A. Integration of Sustainability Risks (SFDR Article 3)

Evercurious VC AEDAKES, acting as the Fund Manager of Evercurious VC Fund I, integrates sustainability risks into its investment decision-making process and monitoring processes at various levels under Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR).

A sustainability risk is defined as an environmental, social, or governance (ESG) event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or potential material negative impact on the value of an investment.

Sustainability risks are considered during the due diligence process and ongoing risk monitoring.

At the Fund level:

  • We conduct negative ESG screening to exclude investments in sectors or activities with adverse environmental or social impact (e.g. weapons, tobacco, gambling, fossil fuels, human rights abuses).
  • All potential investments are subject to a sustainability risk questionnaire to assess ESG exposure as part of due diligence.
  • Identified ESG “red flags” are assessed by our Investment Committee prior to investment decisions.

At the Portfolio Company level:

  • We actively promote ESG alignment and encourage all portfolio companies to adopt ESG policies appropriate to their size and maturity.
  • ESG-related risks and opportunities are periodically monitored and reviewed.

At the Manager level:

  • We periodically review our ESG strategy, policies and internal practices, and seek stakeholder feedback to enhance ESG integration.

Overall, the timely identification, active assessment and, to the extent possible, mitigation of sustainability risks is embedded into the above multi-tiered processes.

B. No Consideration of Principal Adverse Impacts (PAIs) (SFDR Article 4)

At this stage, Evercurious VC does not currently consider principal adverse impacts (PAIs) of investment decisions on sustainability factors in the specific manner defined under Article 4 of the SFDR.  This approach reflects the practical limitations and disproportionate reporting burden associated with early-stage investing, where comprehensive and reliable sustainability data is often unavailable, inconsistent, or insufficiently developed to support meaningful quantitative analysis

We remain committed to ESG integration and will periodically review our position on PAIs as our portfolio matures and reporting standards evolve, with a view to aligning with the regulatory framework where feasible.

C. Fund Classification (SFDR Article 6)

Evercurious VC Fund I is classified as an Article 6 fund under SFDR. While the fund does not promote environmental or social characteristics, sustainability risks are integrated into the investment decision-making process to the extent appropriate in the course of its investment process. The likely impacts of such risks on financial returns have not been quantitatively assessed at this stage

D. Transparency & Updates

We are committed to transparency and responsible disclosure.

ESG-related matters are addressed in our investor communications, including periodic updates on relevant developments. Material sustainability-related issues, if any, are communicated in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Our ESG practices are reviewed periodically to reflect evolving regulatory and industry standards, and the growth of our portfolio.
