DIVERSITY
Diverse management teams make good investments. For every investment we make, we seek to understand the differential impact of a product or service by gender. We actively support female founders and encourage female participation in board and executive roles, in line with our company values.
In conjunction with Tattarang, we are thrilled to be a corporate partner in Women in Leadership Development (WiLD), a program providing Australian women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) with the qualifications, skills and networks needed to attain senior leadership and board positions.
ESG
At Tenmile we not only consider the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities associated with each investment, but we also encourage and support our investees to improve their ESG risk management and develop more sustainable business practices.
To assess overall performance of potential investees, ESG factors are considered (in addition to financial performance) at the first stage of the investment lifecycle and formally at investment decision stage. This informs our ongoing investment strategy, including active monitoring, management and reporting.
For our earliest stage companies and founders, we can offer advice on sustainability and ESG opportunities, so they are incorporated from the beginning.
