Ethics VC Certification

Our forthcoming voluntary certification framework will assess venture capital practices and investment relationships against Ethics VC criteria for transparency, governance, and human-rights alignment. The program is intended for VC firms and institutional investors seeking to demonstrate alignment with those criteria.

Note: All materials are informational and designed to support internal oversight processes, not to constitute legal or investment advice.
