Financial services

Investor pressure for clear financial returns from sustainability is accelerating. Capital is shifting rapidly, $2 trillion annually flows into renewables globally and is set to double within five years. Limited partners now expect financial evidence of decarbonisation value creation, while regulatory and political uncertainties prevail.

General Partners (GPs) face fragmented data, inconsistent Environmental Social Governance (ESG) practices across portfolio companies and growing regulatory complexity. Without a structured, investment-grade approach to ESG and sustainability, firms risk value leakage during the hold period and heightened scrutiny at exit.

We help multi-strategy Private Equity (PE) and Private Debt managers integrate ESG and sustainability into investment decision-making, portfolio management and exit planning, turning decarbonisation and broader ESG initiatives into measurable value drivers.
