Philosophy, Values and Purpose

In our view, conscious capitalism and improving environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards lead to better business resilience, mid- and long term performance and valuations.

We believe that the power of private enterprise and technology to address global challenges will build some of the most valuable companies of our time.

Pivotal Expeditions strives to be a fair, transparent and supportive partner to thoughtful, purpose-driven entrepreneurs and investors, enabling them to reach their goals faster and create a more sustainable future for all.

Driven by global megatrends like climate change, resource scarcity, a growing and aging population, urbanization and increasing inequality, etc., and the ensuing change in government policy and investor preferences, we see consumers and companies increasingly looking for more sustainable products and services, operations, and supply chains.

At the same time, recent advances in digital technologies such as AI/ML, IoT, 5G, Cloud/Edge, Blockchain, but also in Bio/Life-, Material-sciences, and Engineering are enabling new, low-cost solutions that were not attainable even a decade ago.
