VP Capital is a purpose-driven family office rooted in the Van Puijenbroek family's 160-year heritage in sustainable business. Starting in 2024, the firm reshaped its strategy so that 'impact is at the forefront of every decision, assessed through a financial lens.' All investments must contribute to one or more of six transformative solutions—biobased, regenerative, toxicity-free, circular, net zero, and inclusive—addressing three key challenges: preserving biodiversity, supporting the climate, and promoting social equality. VP Capital deploys capital across direct growth-stage investments, early-stage ventures (via VP Ventures), fund-of-funds (via VP Participaties), listed equity, and real estate. As a patient, long-term investor, it takes active governance roles in at least 75% of its assets and focuses on sectors including agrifood, clean technology, energy, textile, and built environment. The firm is a certified B Corp and a signatory of the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge.
