Private Equity introduction
ESG influences valuations, exit readiness, and access to capital, particularly in regulated sectors and supply chain-heavy investments. Our approach is based on real experience with leading parties. We collaborate with private equity firms, family offices, and venture capital investors to integrate ESG across their investment cycle. Our services include due diligence, value creation planning, fund or portfolio level strategy and execution. The big difference is that you get the depth you need without the inflated ‘overhead’ fees or communications complexity of a global consultancy.
We also help with understanding and investing in renewable and carbon markets from which your organisation can drive climate finance and internalise green premiums.
Common industry challenges
Investor demands
Investor expectations are increasing with complex and evolving reporting requirements. Investors no longer want solely data; they expect to see evidence of change. Failure to meet these demands can hinder fundraising efforts and erode investor confidence.
Impact objectives
For funds with defined impact objectives, accurately measuring and demonstrating portfolio impact can be challenging. We help raise value through targeted action.
Risk and Due Diligence
Assessing the ESG performance and potential risks of acquisition targets is often complex and unclear, making it difficult to ensure alignment with a fund’s ESG strategy. Investments may carry undisclosed ESG risks, reducing long-term value creation and exposing funds to regulatory challenges.
Exit Strategies
Buyers are demanding transparent data and plans on how a company is and will improve its ESG performance. Without a well-articulated ESG story, company valuations will not reach their full potential.
