Impact
Driving Decarbonization
Aiming to accelerate industrial decarbonization, Vidia scales climate solutions that replace carbon intensive products and services.
How we drive
impact while maximizing returns
At Vidia, we believe that an unprecedented transformation of the global economy is creating the macroeconomic opportunity of a lifetime.
We invest in companies with proven technologies that will contribute to and benefit from the transition to a net-zero economy. We offer both financial and non-financial support to drive disproportionate green growth, while unlocking operational value.
The synergistic combination of climate solutions impact and financial value creation is at the core of our investment strategy, with our commitment to ESG excellence providing a robust foundation.

How we generate
impact
Vidia’s impact methodology is central to our investment approach. It is designed to deliver measurable avoidance and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Informed by our mission to decarbonize the economy through private equity investments, we define positive climate impact in two ways:
How we
generate impact
Vidia’s impact methodology is central to our investment approach. It is designed to deliver meas-urable avoidance and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Informed by our mission to decarbonize the economy through private equity investments, we define positive climate impact in two ways:
1. Scaling the handprint
We call the extent to which a climate solution avoids emissions within a specific value chain its “carbon handprint”. To make climate solutions more competitive we drive accelerated green growth and provide operational support. This is where most of our investor impact is generated.
2. Reducing the footprint
In line with science-based net-zero targets, we drive decarbonization activities across our portfolio to further amplify our climate impact.

How we measure
impact
From initial screening to KPI establishment, reporting and exit, measuring climate impact is fundamental to our strategy. The assessment of impact, ESG risk and upside potentials is woven into every step of Vidia’s investment process and validated by an external audit partner.

Vidia’s bespoke climate impact
framework
Standalone Impact:
The overall quality of a company’s climate solution on a standalone basis, considering the quantity of avoided emissions across the value chain (carbon handprint), the revenue share of a climate solution and the quality of the contribution to avoided emissions
Investor Additionality:
This corresponds to the additional improvement of a company’s impact trajectory, i.e. through financial and non-financial support - improvements which would not have been achieved under a “business as usual” scenario
Long-term Outlook:
The general long-term relevance of the impact achieved
Vidia’s bespoke
climate impact framework
Vidia’s approach to value creation is founded on active industrial transformation and is based upon three key phases.
