We\u2019re proud of the fact that we consider responsible investing an integral part of our business model and we recognise the ever-increasing importance of environmental, social and governance aspects for our business and the world we in. We commit to following this ESG policy within our own organisation, the funds we manage and partners we cooperate with. At Kavedon, as part of our circular economic design we have already implemented concrete steps towards more sustainable and impactful business operations. We are committed to maintaining all our efforts to minimize Kavedon\u2019s and all its partners impact on the environment in other areas going forward. Kavedon\u2019s aim is to promote sustainable practices throughout our organisation, our funds, and our portfolio companies. To this end, we\u2019re proud to commit to the following values, which will serve as guidelines as we move towards wholly responsible investing and business practices. How can we become a positive presence in the natural world we live in? How can we respect the rights, dignity, and well-being of everyone and contribute to a society in which there is equality for all? How can we operate with integrity and transparency, and remain accountable for our business practices? Our ESG values are an integral part of each phase of the investment and value creation process, which is why we incorporate them into both the pre-investment and post-investment phases. We consider ESG factors within our risk management processes prior to and post investment. As required by the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU) 2019\/2088, we have described and disclosed our processes relating to sustainability risks, as well as adverse impacts on sustainability factors, here. Our diverse team consists of experienced professionals who are committed to and collectively responsible for our adherence to this ESG policy in all relevant investment decisions and monitoring procedures. Where additional expertise is needed, the team will employ external resources. For all contact regarding responsible investment and ESG-related issues please connect to info@kavedonkapital.com. This document was last updated on March 1, 2022. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kavedon considers principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors before and after investments. Sustainability factors mean environmental, social and employee concerns, respect for human rights and the fight against corruption and bribery. No sustainability indicators are currently used. Kavedon collects information regarding principal adverse impacts from portfolio companies using a questionnaire prior to the investment as well as on an ongoing basis. This principal adverse impact statement dates as of 10 March 2021.<\/p>\n Kavedon has not identified any adverse sustainability impacts related to its investments to date.<\/p>\n Prior to any investment, Kavedon will conduct due diligence. Part of this due diligence includes checking whether the investment could have a negative impact on sustainability factors. This check is performed using a checklist questionnaire. The necessary information is obtained from the respective portfolio company. After an investment,\u00a0i.e., during the holding period, a check is carried out at regular intervals to determine whether there have been or could be any adverse effects on sustainability factors. This review is carried out annually based on a checklist. In addition, the portfolio companies are expected to notify Kavedon in writing on an\u00a0ad hoc\u00a0basis if any adverse effects on sustainability factors become apparent. If adverse effects on sustainability factors are identified before or after an investment, they are taken into account in light of the circumstances of the individual case, in particular considering other impacts of the investment, its size, strategic importance and transactional context.<\/p>\n Kavedon decides at its sole discretion whether or not to make an investment in light of principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors, and Kavedon may apply risk mitigation measures where appropriate. Kavedon organizes an onboarding session for each portfolio company it invests in. During such onboarding session Kavedon discusses with and explains to the management of those portfolio companies how they can incorporate and implement consideration of adverse impacts into their daily operations.<\/p>\n Kavedon is not a member of any international bodies, organizations or required by any national or international convention or standard to comply with any further requirements.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kavedon operates a reward policy which is designed, among other things, to encourage responsible business conduct, ensure fair treatment of clients and avoid conflicts of interest. Further, and as noted in our ESG Policy, the firm ensures that relevant employees are suitably incentivised and remunerated to ensure that ESG requirements are implemented and adhered to.<\/p>\n Our reward policy requires that appropriate qualitative criteria (reflecting compliance with internal policies, applicable regulations, the fair treatment of Investors and Investees) are taken into account when setting remuneration for relevant staff, rather than relying solely on quantitative criteria. It covers all forms of remuneration offered to staff and states that an appropriate balance of between fixed and variable remuneration must be maintained at all times.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/tab][tab icon_family=”linea” title=”Zero Tolerance” id=”1646224796758-5″ tab_id=”1646224796759-4″ icon_linea=”icon-arrows-deny”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” css=”.vc_custom_1646224486462{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Zero Tolerance Policy” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:40|text_align:left|line_height:50px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top-bottom” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1646224198291{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]\n Kavedon Kapital (\u201cKavedon\u201d) is committed to maintain an inclusive and safe workplace that promotes respect, integrity, equal opportunity, and openness. To this end, Kavedon has adopted a zero-tolerance approach against any kind of discrimination and harassment. The purpose of this policy is to describe behaviour and activity falling under the zero-tolerance concept. It also includes how to report violations of this policy and remedial actions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This policy applies to all individuals involved, engaged or associated with Kavedon, including Kavedon employees, fund portfolio company founders and employees, partners and vendors and other stakeholders. We expect everyone to adhere to this policy in all settings associated with Kavedon such as offices, video and telephone conferences, media and online communication, events and social outings. The behaviours falling under the zero-tolerance concept include discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment and other unwanted behaviour which are described in more detail below. The conducts and acts mentioned are not exhaustive. There may be other behaviour, which by either nature or context will fall within the scope of this policy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Discrimination is when an individual is treated unfavourably or when an individual’s dignity is violated. There are several grounds of discrimination including sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, age or other basis protected by law (‘protected characteristics’).<\/p>\n Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated less favourable because of having one or more of the protected characteristics, compared to someone who does not have the same protected characteristic. Indirect discrimination occurs when a conduct or act appears neutral but in fact disadvantages certain individuals and can’t be objectively justified. Discrimination also occurs if an individual with a disability is disadvantaged due to not getting the same access as someone without the same disability.<\/p>\n Discriminatory behaviour may include limiting opportunities to work for non-objective reasons, deliberate exclusion attendance in a way that may constitute indirect discrimination and instructing someone else to discriminate against another individual.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Harassment is an unwanted conduct or act which an individual is subjected to, that relates to a protected characteristic, and violates the victim’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading or offensive environment.<\/p>\n Harassment may include statements or remarks that are derogatory or demeaning about an individual, degrading images or material portraying stereotypes of an individual or marginalized group, racist or ethnic slurs, obscene or abusive language or outing individuals against their will, e.g. sexual orientation and religion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sexual harassment is harassment of a sexual nature or related to gender. Sexual harassment can take many forms and does not need to be motivated by sexual desire. Some acts may be considered as sexual harassments by nature, while some acts may be considered as sexual harassment based on the context.<\/p>\n Sexual harassment may include misogynist comments or behaviour, deliberate or persistent misgendering, sexual jokes, advances, propositions and touching, gestures, written and verbal abuse of sexual nature or sexually degrading ways to describe an individual.<\/p>\n A conduct or act by an individual in significant power over the recipient, such as a senior staff member or a person who influences funding decisions towards a person seeking funding, are specifically included under this section.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The above-mentioned conducts and acts are not exhaustive. Other behaviour that the recipient may perceive as unwanted may also be considered as falling under the zero-tolerance concept such as: – non-sexual physical touch, restraint, assault or threats, retaliation or the threat of retaliation against someone; – minimising, excusing and defending unacceptable behaviour; and – criticizing the recipient of unwanted behaviour for having an inappropriate emotional state of mind in response to an unacceptable behaviour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kavedon strongly encourages its stakeholders to adopt a zero-tolerance approach to the conduct described herein and to implement processes to report and take appropriate measures against such behaviour.<\/p>\n Kavedon also encourages reporting of violations against this policy. We specifically expect people in senior positions or positions of power to report violations they may encounter as they are less vulnerable to retaliation or pressure.<\/p>\nGrounds for data collection<\/h3>\n

\nWhile this ESG policy sets out our commitment to responsible investing, we believe strongly in collaboration \u2013 and we will pursue a network-based approach to advance and improve our ESG position on an ongoing basis. We continually seek to work with our portfolio companies to create sustainable value.
\n\u200d
\nAgainst this background, this policy should be read and understood as an evolving, inclusive, and overarching document. In it, we will be setting forth our general ESG commitment, which may be shaped further through dynamic and collaborative processes.
\n\u200d
\nAs the policy evolves, we will endeavour to respect the principle of proportionality, i.e., taking due account of the size, nature and scale of our activities, types of funds and stages of our portfolio companies. We will also engage our portfolio companies on a case-by-case basis, as appropriate to the company\u2019s individual situation as well as our own legal, regulatory and tax requirements.
\n\u200d<\/p>\nScope<\/h3>\n
\n\u200d
\nSince we generally operate in early-stage investment, the influence we have on portfolio companies through shareholdings of our funds, including influence on sustainability matters. We will make every effort to encourage our portfolio companies to agree with our ESG policy and to commit to pursuing our ESG values. Also, we will strive to work with partners and market participants who implement such values themselves, or who can at least identify with them.

\n\u200d
\nIn the pre-investment phase, we consider our ESG values as we conduct our due diligence processes. We collect relevant information from potential portfolio companies using a detailed questionnaire and in doing so, we identify and evaluate potential ESG-related value creation opportunities and issues before making an investment decision.
\n\u200d
\nTo further assess ESG-related value creation opportunities and issues, and to monitor adherence to our ESG policy, this questionnaire is also issued to portfolio companies during the post-investment phase on an annual basis. This enables us to identify any ESG-related value creation opportunities and issues early and encourage and support actions for improvement. We also apply best efforts when negotiating an investment into a portfolio company, to reach a side letter agreement requiring the portfolio company to notify us on an ad hoc basis if any ESG-related issues become apparent. Furthermore, we organize an onboarding session for each portfolio company during which we discuss with and explain to the management how they could incorporate ESG consideration into their operations.
\n\u200d
\nSpecifically addressing social values, we have set up an Equal Opportunity and Inclusion policy, which covers relevant issues both internally and externally with its two pillars: career and investment. Each pillar has two goals, which can be summarized as equal opportunity on the one hand, and health and inclusion on the other. Our aim here is to ensure talented people of all backgrounds have equitable access to career and capital opportunities, and for Kavedon to achieve its vision of becoming a role model for equal opportunity and inclusion in venture capital.

Sustainability risks are environmental, social or governance events or conditions, the occurrence of which could have an actual or potential material adverse effect on the value of the investment. Kavedon considers sustainability risks as part of the due diligence process prior to any investment. This also includes an assessment of sustainability risks. Such assessment is being conducted using a questionnaire. The results of such assessment are taken into account when the investment decision is being taken. Kavedon remains free in its decision to refrain from investing or to invest despite sustainability risks in which case Kavedon can also apply measures to reduce or mitigate any sustainability risks. At all times, Kavedon will apply the principle of proportionality taking due account of the strategic relevance of an investment as well as its transactional context.<\/p>\nPrincipal adverse sustainability impacts statement\u200d<\/h3>\n
