Private equity is leaving billions of dollars in sustainability value on the table due to a focus on risk compliance rather than value creation. 

There is a significant opportunity to increase financial returns while enhancing environmental and societal impact. Many private market investors focus on ESG and sustainability as a compliance exercise, leaving value-creation opportunities untapped.

We have therefore developed a value-creation tool that allows general partners to easily identify key material issues within their portfolio companies, provide a high-level assessment of ESG-related risks and opportunities, prioritize the most important sustainability strategies, and create KPIs that capture the financial value of these sustainability strategies.
