Our mission is to create a lasting positive impact on planetary, human, and animal health by transforming critical industries. The packaging, food, textiles, and construction sectors are some of the largest contributors to environmental degradation, from excessive waste to high carbon emissions. By focusing on these industries, we aim to drive systemic change and build sustainable, circular systems that minimize harm and maximize innovation. As a climate-first venture capital platform, we leverage our European foundation and deep market connections to empower visionary entrepreneurs.

Our team, with its blend of industrial expertise and entrepreneurial spirit, works alongside founders to accelerate the growth of scalable solutions. Through strategic support, access to key networks, and tailored resources, we help bring transformative ideas to life, fostering a future where sustainability is the norm. In everything we do, we are driven by the belief that business can and must be a force for “collateral” good—creating measurable, lasting impact for the planet and generations to come.

Global challenges demand urgent action. By 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach 9.7 billion, significantly increasing the demand for finite resources. Simultaneously, the IPCC reports that existing efforts to mitigate climate change are insufficient to keep global warming below the crucial 1.5°C threshold. Surpassing this limit risks severe and irreversible environmental and social consequences. To provide a sustainable, equitable quality of life for everyone while staying within planetary boundaries, we must innovate—rapidly and at scale. Advancements in biology, chemistry, and technology are driving groundbreaking solutions across industries. 

Sectors such as food, textile & fashion, plastics & packaging, and construction are experiencing a wave of innovation. These developments are reshaping traditional systems, giving rise to global megatrends and unlocking transformative growth opportunities. At Collateral Good, we actively invest in and advocate for these groundbreaking solutions, empowering visionary leaders to build systems that drive positive change for the planet, communities, and future generations. Through Innovation and technology, sponsored by capital, we believe we can drive this transformation.
