VP Capital

VP Capital is a family office originating from Van Puijenbroek Textile, established in 1865. They have evolved into an impact-driven investor leveraging capital and network for positive change for the planet and society. Since 2019, they implemented a strategy focused on reducing negative impact and promoting positive change in sectors such as agrifood, real estate, textile, clean technology, and energy. Approximately half of their managed assets are allocated to impactful companies and innovative enterprises. Starting in 2024, VP Capital reshaped its strategy to put impact at the forefront of every decision, assessed through a financial lens. They structure their impact strategy around 3 key challenges and 6 solutions, guiding all investments based on their potential to drive these solutions and challenges. They aim to realize impact through their own organization, their capital investments and donations, and their influence as an investor by actively engaging with their investments and network on topics like biodiversity, climate change, and inequality. VP Capital's investments are long-term commitments, screened against criteria like purpose, vision, and intended impact. The due diligence process identifies financial, legal, and sustainability issues. They are actively involved with their investments, with a VP Capital team member holding a seat in a governing body in at least 75% of their assets to promote sustainability, impact, and innovation. They also maintain an exclusion list and actively work with their portfolio companies on actions to reduce negative impact. They invest across asset classes including private equity, ventures, real estate, and publicly traded businesses. Investor additionality, potential impact, and realized impact are key in their decision-making process. They support companies that drive the future of sustainability by providing not only financial support but also sharing valuable knowledge, experience, and extensive networks. VP Capital has adopted an impact-first investment strategy, inspired by Kate Raworth’s Doughnut model, to achieve a balance between social needs and planetary limits. Their investment strategy starts with impact objectives and translated into asset class targets for capital allocation to the six solutions tied to their three impact themes.
