Investment thesis
Norselab invests through the lens of its proprietary 'Meaningfulness' impact philosophy, which underpins all of its fund strategies. Rather than following mainstream ESG or sustainable investing conventions, the firm seeks to invest in ways that deliver the scale and depth of change needed to keep the planet livable for future generations. The UN Sustainable Development Goals serve as its guiding framework for defining positive impact. Each investment decision is documented in a 'Meaningfulness Memo' that assesses a company's impact intensity and eligibility, and where relevant sets out an impact management roadmap. The firm publishes annual Meaningfulness Reports quantifying the net positive impact of its investments.
