What Private Equity Firms Need to Know About ESG

Private equity (PE) firms that have embraced environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors have an advantage in value creation and investment opportunities. In fact, according to a recent survey by ERM, 70% of private equity respondents have seen ESG positively influence their investments. At the same time, over 95% of respondents stated that they have not yet accessed ESG’s full value creation opportunities.
