Dedicated ESG strategies continue to proliferate as mainstream managers adopt best practices to maximise value, say Natasha Buckley, Till Burges and Michael Dean
at HarbourVest Partners.
Private equity has a key role to play in empowering women and protecting the environment while generating financial returns, say NSSK’s Jun Tsusaka and Kiyomi Matsuda.
Identifying areas for improvement and developing a strategy for change are key steps on the decarbonisation journey, say Pontus Pettersson and Laura McMullen at Cinven, and Michael Burness and Marilyn Johnson at Arxada.
While awareness has grown, engaging with management teams to gain buy-in and demonstrate the value of ESG is crucial, say Michael Octoman and Bence Szegedi at Navis Capital Partners.
The most successful route to the democratisation of private markets is through transparency, education and access to high-quality investments, say iCapital’s Lawrence Calcano and Marco Bizzozero.
