EVPA CORPORATE INITIATIVE WEBINAR #1 / OBSERVATION 1 Steven Serneels Investor SI2 Fund, EVPA board member, Chair of EVPA Corporate Initiative Task Group

Corporate foundations

Some proxys

• US: $5 B giving (2014) – EUROPE: €3-4 B (*)
• Giving by large global companies grew by more than

15% from 2010 to 2013

Corporate Impact Venturing

Some proxys

Global Corporate venturing capital investment grew from $20 B in 2013 to around $30 B in 2015

(*) As no precise data nor research is available, the European number is a guestimate

We are talking serious and growing numbers, but also the potential to leverage far bigger corporate assets

EVPA CORPORATE INITIATIVE WEBINAR #1 / OBSERVATION 2 Steven Serneels Investor SI2 Fund, EVPA board member, Chair of EVPA Corporate Initiative Task Group “There is not yet a broad awareness within corporations of the many options to engage in social investments” Oliver Wyman, 2015 “VPOs and Corporations are 2 worlds-apart; many VPOs have limited understanding of the dynamics within a company” EVPA report, 2015

It is still early days, but we’re moving from ‘anecdotal’ to ‘early adopters’
