Our approach to ESG
Innovation for a Healthier World

Innovation for a Healthier World
Since the start of the decade, we have witnessed a series of unprecedented global events, ranging from the Covid-19 pandemic, to extreme weather across the planet, to the brutal wars that rage in Ukraine and Gaza. Turbulent times that remind us the vital role health, sustainability, and democracy play in a functioning global economy and society. For Earlybird Health, these events have accelerated our mission to fund innovation for a healthier world, investing in breakthrough healthcare innovations that deliver long-term positive impact on people‘s health. Through our health funds we strive to enhance health outcomes, encourage preventive measures, and increase the availability and affordability of healthcare. And in doing so, we contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3: Better Health and Well-being.

Our ESG Journey
In 2020 we started screening our pipeline according to ESG criteria and implementing sustainability initiatives. However, 2022 really marked the introduction of ESG as a strategic driver for Earlybird Health. We have invested considerably in team development and training, become a signatory of the PRI, and reclassified our Health Fund II as Article 8 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
