The firm is optimizing energy use and supply chain sustainability in its office operations, and is exploring sustainable approaches for business travel and events—key contributors to its carbon footprint.

Concerns

Compliance with U.S. sanctions

Compliance with U.S. sanctions and termination of Russian accounts

The transition to new EU ESG disclosure requirements (such as CSRD) in 2025 presents compliance challenges for investment firms, including Notion Capital, as they must adapt to more detailed and rigorous sustainability reporting standards.

There is limited independent, third-party ESG ratings data publicly available for Notion Capital, which may hinder transparency and comparability for stakeholders seeking standardized ESG performance metrics.
