Environment friendly

Protection of our environmental considerations play an important role in our investment decision. Our investments are focused on early and growth stage technology projects, thus our portfolio companies in general aim at improving efficiency in life or at work by leveraging software tools and/or hardware devices.

Social responsibility

Most of our investments are companies that create new employment opportunities through technology. Some of our projects are expected to reshape their respective industries in the long run. Our portfolio companies bring additional social benefits by improving efficiency through innovative business models, as well as by disruptive technology such as in AI, big data, robotics, etc. We have also invested in numerous companies that include female founders and actively encourage our companies to involve more women at the executive level, across all functions of the company.

Business ethics

We apply high standards of business integrity and transparency at all times, within our team and between our portfolio companies, and have an anti-corruption and anti-bribery policy, supported by appropriate levels of compliance monitoring. We hold regular internal training sessions for our employees, as part of the compliance monitoring.

Governance

Our portfolio companies hold regular, structured board meetings, with supporting legal documentation, undertaking regular strategic planning, and having a clear focus on the revenue opportunities and operational improvements that will drive shareholder value. In addition to this, we endeavor to ensure that similar ESG criteria are considered by our portfolio companies’ boards, on a periodic basis.

Community engagement

Sinovation Ventures has a strong and ever-growing startup and founders’ community in China. We have and continue to put a lot of effort into building this community, in nurturing it and leveraging it to draw a full range of business benefits (indicatively knowledge sharing, technology cooperation, recruitment, enhanced reputation and brand, etc.) and help our portfolios to build win-win collaborative opportunities.
