Henry is co-founder of ESG_VC, a network of more than 150 VC firms collaborating to help early-stage companies measure and improve their ESG performance. The initiative was launched in 2021 by a steering group of funds that is chaired by Beringea, and it has been endorsed by the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association.

The support provided by ESG_VC is structured into three core areas of activity: a free measurement framework for benchmarking the ESG performance of early-stage companies; an annual programme of workshops and training events for VCs and their portfolio companies; and free resources to help companies embed ESG processes and policies.

Members of the ESG_VC Steering Group include Seedcamp, Astanor, Atomico, Talis, Lakestar, Par Equity, Social Value Portal, and the BVCA.
