Diversity & inclusion framework

We are convinced that diversity and inclusion is a key driver of transformation and that our commitment will ensure we build stronger and better companies that can become the disruptors of tomorrow

Updated Diversity & Inclusion Targets for 2022

While we are proud of the progress made against our four D&I targets announced in 2019, we are by no means satisfied. We remain committed to driving the D&I agenda and have during 2021 worked to identify new D&I targets to address a broader approach to diversity and the importance of inclusion of all.

In February 2022, we announced our updated and more ambitious D&I targets which going forward will replace the targets announced at the 2019 AGM. We will report on progress for all targets on a yearly basis.

1. Increase Kinnevik Inclusion - Increase Our Inclusion Score on an Annual Incremental Basis

2. 10% Female Capital Allocation - On a Two-Year Rolling Basis, 10% of New Capital in Female Founded or Led Companies from 2019 AGM and onward

3. Follow-On Investments - Only Make Follow-On Investments in Companies that are Making Sufficient Progress in Relation to Diversity & Inclusion

4. Ensure Portfolio Progress - Achieve Annual Incremental Progress across Portfolio on Relevant Diversity & Inclusion Efforts
