EVPA CORPORATE INITIATIVE WEBINAR #1 / OBSERVATION 1

Steven Serneels


board member,



Corporate foundations Some proxys

• US: $5 B giving (2014) – EUROPE: €3-4 B (*)

• Giving by large global companies grew by more than

15% from 2010 to 2013

Corporate Impact Venturing Some proxys

Global Corporate venturing capital investment grew from

$20 B in 2013 to around $30 B in 2015

(*) As no precise data nor research is available, the European number is a guestimate

We are talking serious and growing numbers,

but also the potential to leverage far bigger corporate assets

EVPA CORPORATE INITIATIVE WEBINAR #1 / OBSERVATION 2

Steven Serneels


board member,



“There is not yet a broad awareness within corporations of

the many options to engage in social investments”

Oliver Wyman, 2015

“VPOs and Corporations are 2 worlds-apart; many

VPOs have limited understanding of the dynamics within

a company”

EVPA report, 2015

It is still early days,

but we’re moving from ‘anecdotal’ to ‘early adopters’
