Strong heritage. Sustainable progress. At VP Capital, we commit our capital and network towards sustainable progress for generations to come. We do this because we see the need, feel the responsibility and believe in the opportunities of future proof thinking. We want to contribute to solutions that are needed both on a planetary and societal level.
In doing so, we always look at both reducing the negative impact or effects with our businesses, investments, donations, innovations and increasing the positive impact of our portfolio.
We remain down-to-earth but ambitious in this regard.
